It appears to me that a lot of people are looking at this aspect of the issue back-asswards.
The government is charged with making laws and such (article 1, Section 8) as it sees fit for the "general welfare" needs of the nation.
When the government (or anyone) objectively looks at the idea of "marriage" which one naturally comes to mind as the union that best suits the 'general welfare' needs for the nation?
I suibmit that it's the "one man one woman" union that GENERALLY benefits the nation most.
The government, interested ONLY in the general welfare aspect,... is not charged with validating or recognizing anything more than what is fitting for our "general welfare."
In general,... from the governments perspective,... "marriage" is about the nucleus of a family, families (generally speaking) are for making and rearing children. The family model which naturally provides them (children) with a male and female role model,... which by extension forms our societies,... etc?
One man one woman.
It's not a "requirment" that a marriage is for the creating of children.
It's a recognition.
