Michael Medved had a very good argument that I heard him state before and it was something along these lines:

conventional marriage was the only institution that was publicly sanctioned because it was the best social arrangement for the State to promote the family. The State originally became a partner to the contract because it was in the benefit of the state for producing healthy upstanding citizens. He also cited some case law and common laws that date back to the original state recognized and sanctioned unions between a man a a woman. Hence the marriage license and marriage contract. Anyway.........something like that.

This was a good argument when the male and female were checked for diseases and to make a healthy baby but we don’t do this anymore. So the argument is void.
