huh?

it is about a social group being able to avail themselves of the legal protections and advantages of the legal institution of marriage. it is about equal protection.

i was thinking earlier that saying marriage is about reproduction is like saying clouds are about precipitation.
so any cloud that does not issue forth would be a lesser cloud.
it's not wrong that clouds are linked to precipitation, but it is absurd to say that clouds are about that.
