Gay people could have worked with radfems to abolish marriage and make civil unions the norm for all.

I’ve also heard this argument posited by conservatives with it being framed as “well I just think the government needs to get out of marriage.” Frankly, I’m confused by the argument on either side. You’re legally binding two people and their finances together regardless of what you call it. This really just sounds like an argument for people who can’t stand the thought of gays getting married or think they’re too cool for school.
