I only mention polygamy because many gay rights activists seem to deny that by legally redefining marriage from "man and women" to "two people" it leaves it just as open to be changed to "three people."
I'm very sympathetic to your argument that the government should be removed entirely from the process of marriage. But I do think (well, more like "suspect" that there is a positive side to having the weight of government behind marriage that would be missed in its absence.
