Same Sex Marriage and Gilligan's Island Game Theory by iowahawk

"The problem, I think, is that marriage uniquely represents a religious sacrament that doubles as an official secular legal status. We don't have laws, for example, that recognize someone's baptism or confirmation. Because of that duality of marriage, attempts to expand its definition naturally are seen as an attack on religion, while attempts to restrict its definition are seen as the imposition of religion on society. Everybody gets mad and yells."
