MODERATORS
The fight for gay marriage was/is about the benefits afforded by the state to legally married couples.
Which is absolutely privilege because single people don't get those same tax breaks.
All tax benefits, from marriage tax deductions to corporate tax elimination, is the government picking and choosing which behaviors it wants to encourage.
That's why conservatives didn't want gay people to get married because they saw it as government endorsement of their behavior, and not the government recognizing equal rights.
Public equality and public liberty are the responsibility and purview of government. If they are not, we can't really have government by consent. Instead we have hegemony in which the lower strata are governed by force.
