I am at a loss about this 'problem', too.
Why would a same sex couple want to marry?
Same sex couples want to participate in marriage, but why?
Why would a heterosexual couple want to marry?

As long as the rules of the game are the same what's the difference?
What are the rules, and what rule(s) would not be observed?
Why the rules about who plays? Is it only an outdated technicality
(wording)?
Why does the government want to keep marriage?
What benefit to society is it, and how would it change if same sex couples
participate?
Do some want to protect the institution but don't have a clue as to why?

Do some think that if same sex marriage is allowed it would make
heterosexual couples feel it was not something they would want to
participate in anymore?
Is the real problem that the government feels heterosexual couples think
badly of homosexual couples and therefore would not want to participate in
the institution of marriage anymore?
If that is not the case I would like to hear what the real problem is, too.
As far as I can tell, those who oppose same sex marriage just think most
people have no respect for same sex couples.
I don't like the government assuming I am an asshole.
If there is a good reason to oppose it, I would oppose it.
I haven't seen any reason, let alone a good one, but maybe I am not looking
very hard.
It is not pleasant having to pick through loads of shit trying to find a
grain of reason.
Someone has to have heard something.
