My mom yells at me to wake up, because I had started taking a nap at 5:15 PM. I set my alarm to wake me up at 6:20. =_= She was not home when I started my nap, so she assumes I was sleeping for even longer. I set a FRIGGIN' ALARM. She could HEAR IT, when I woke up. It was an hour and 5 minutes, but still...

Not unless you argue against the government allowing two individuals to join into one household (combining finances, instant "family" status for hospitals, insurance, employment leave, etc etc) -- you'd have to dissolve the entire institution of marriage.
It's easy to argue that the government should only issue the legal paperwork, as in a separation of church and state (disallowing ministers/priests to sign marriage licenses, but instead insist that only notary publics have the power to form a legal union between two individuals). Frankly I'd prefer that. I dislike that my marriage license had to have a religious component to it; legally I was wed by a minister. In reality it was simply an extremely close friend who we had get internet-ordained, but I much would have preferred a temporary notary status and a less EYES OF GOD angle.
Also it'd kind of be a FUCK YOU to the assholes who object to gay marriage on religious grounds. By secularizing ALL marriages, to allow the separation of church and state that, technically, is part of America's very constitution. Churches would still be free to decide who they recognized as married, so if the Catholic or Mormon church wants to have no gay marriage that's just fine. Gay couples can seek religious and churches that do allow it, or have a secular ceremony. All couples have to sign and file a marriage license with their county anyway.
