Why does the state need to recognize marrage at all?

The solution to this is simple. No state sanctioning of marrage for anyone. Everyone should be happy with that.

Of course. It's only when government is brought into this issue to begin with that people on both sides start getting pissed off.

People want the government to officially recognize a certain class of citizens (married ones), and then they get pissed off because the government is only recognizing a certain class of citizens!!!

Government is about as essential as paps on a bull where marriage is concerned, but it's become some kind of us-vs-them news channel game show for the the unwashed masses unable to think outside the box.
