If the government does not hand out goodies based on marital status who cares?

If the government does not hand out goodies based on marital status who cares?

That's the evil genius of it:

1. Government comes up with some rationalization for taking control of a social institution.
2. Enough suckers buy the excuse to let it happen.
3. Once the takeover is a fait accompli, it becomes part of the rationale for the next takeover.
4. Lather, rinse, repeat.

These people will present themselves as married and our children and generations that follow will think nothing of a couple of married lesbians or gays. It then becomes normal.
