If they must make marriage a thing that is state run and required for certain rights, then it should be available to anyone. If it's a strictly religious deal and has no repercussions any other way, then sure, make it man and woman. But don't lock people out of things because they can't get married.
I don't understand why people are so dumb about this. It's what this country was founded on.
