The reverse is equally true; just because something is "natural" does not mean that it should be culturally accepted by a society. Personally, I favor allowing SSM as a state sanctioned relationship option (as well as some others), but I have no reason to get more than my one vote on the matter. Once we start down the path to what compelling state interest supports any "standard" then we are in for some serious time wasting.
I absolutely agree - which is why I strongly oppose government being in the marriage business and government incentives, benefits, tax allowances, related to government being in the marriage business. If society truly was fair and equitable, all individuals would be treated equally, regardless of their personal relationships/commitments.
