This is a matter of gender AND sexual orientation. It shouldn't be viewed as "A man (gay or straight) can marry a woman (gay or straight), so what's the problem?". It should be viewed as "legal adult A can enter a legally binding, government sanctioned contract with a man, but not with a woman." What other contracts is this true of? What if the government said "A man can sell his home to another man, and a woman can sell her home to another woman, but men can't sell to women or vice versa"? It would be ridiculous and unconstitutional. Why you don't think this applies to a marriage contract is baffling to me
