Beyond YAY!'s, the state is saying it will 'let' you love someone of the same sex.

Can someone sense the creepiness in this? It tells you how/who/why you should love.

It still doesn't include certain groups and it could revoke such 'rights' in other circumstances.

It doesn't tell you how/who/why you should love. It simply states the kinds of unions that gain property sharing rights.

You're free to love who/how/why you want, but don't expect special property rights or tax credits unless the government has recognized them as such.

Gays wanted this way to be a top down authoritarian decision not a bottom up democratic one so there you have it.

The govt should not be in the business of meddling with personal affairs in the first place except voluntarily and for minimum legal purposes.
