People get married at churches. The Federal govt is not allowed to get involved with church and state. You want to replace the ordained minister with a Federal judge. That is unconstitutional. Every marriage would require a federal judge in order for there to be "Equality" as you put it. That is never going to happen.
LEGAL GOVERNMENT MARRIAGE
You can only be legally married with a government license entitled Marriage License.
This has nothing to do with religion or church.
If you want to have a religious marriage in church - - - - go for it.

"They can and do get married". Yes, they can and they do, but if you leave the state in which you live, your marriage is no longer recognized.
Thank you.
But none are Federally recognized.
Federal marriage has privileges not available by any other means - - including state marriage.
State marriage is still not Equal.
Oh, now I see...you want gays to have a SUPERIOR marriage, one higher than all others. This is insane.

Do not go up against LGBT Community they can do whatever they want and get away with it just because they are "persecuted" and ignored.
Being homosexual is not normal and they are not the same thing as heteros. This does not mean one is better than the other it just means they are different which means they need to be treated as such. If that was not the case then we would not have these discussions about it.
Marriage is typically for man and woman. it is not for same sex relationships. I am not saying they shouldn't be together but please do not ask to be treated like a regular couple. YOu have to know your limitations and not expect to be treated the same if you are obviously different.
Just because we live in a made up society that accepts certain things does not mean that is how it should be. Since at any moment and time this society can be destroyed ... the only constant is that nature would say that if you put a community of gay men isolated on an island , in 100yrs you would find a community of dead gay men. If you did the same with heteros you would find a nice thriving community.
There is nothing wrong with being gay. They were born that way as a defect or maybe to cull the herd of certain genes by making them not procreate the lineage further. Survival of the fittest?? everyone is about that and evolution. They are wired to consciously not want to procreate.
My message to homosexuals is to accept who they are and not try to be like everyone else. Do not ask for marriage ask for something similar to it. You are not the same you are different, take pride in that and live differently without trying to be what you are not.

Oh wait that's right, you want to leave everyone else just stay with the lowly crappy State licensed marriage and the gays get the SUPERIOR Federal License, making their marriage the premier unions of the land. They must get extra special treatment.

See, gay people can just "marry" themselves and avoid using the FedGov--but they seem to thing the Federal Govt is some supreme leader with all Authority........
why does any group need to partner with the FedGov?. What does it provide that gay people cant do on there own.?

Boat Captains can perform a marriage ceremony. Heck - my next door neighbor can perform a marriage ceremony.
They are not LEGAL without the government contract entitled Marriage License
