Not at all.

I was originally saying allow gay marriage because it hurts no one. On the other hand, in my last post I offered another option worth considering of just having our governing bodies get rid of their part in marriages and leave it to non-state bodies e.g. religions. All-or-none I guess. I don't see it as fair to tell some people it's ok and encouraged and tell the minority that it can't be recognized or accepted.

Default arguments are about as good as saying slavery was the default for extremely long periods and therefore we should keep it. Women couldn't vote by default, etc. Sometimes it really is better to change in an effort to help a different-than-majority person out.
