31. Maybe people are militant about equal rights, rather than about marriage, per se.
The minute the goverment says "this group of people and this one only is not entitled to do x, y or z," government is making that group second class citizens. I'd be militant about having my government identify me as a second class citizen, whether it was marriage or serving on a jury, neither of which I have the least desire to do.
