You're not getting it, he's supporting government regulation of marriage. If you don't believe marriage should be regulated, then how are you going to tell Fred and Steve that they won't have that white wedding they want so bad? That's the regulation. You are deregulating by creating or maintaining laws that restrict people? That makes no sense.
