So ... again why do people seek approval of gov't on how to live their lives? We have LGBT people who screech about how horribly they are treated by the gov't and in the next breath are complaining that the gov't needs to approve of their relationship.
It's bizarre.

Not exactly. Every state has different laws and rules governing property, inheritance, who is a member of a household and so forth. Even the federal government treats tax issues differently for married couples. Marriage cuts to the chase on these matters. U.S. v. Windsor was a tax issue.
When gay marriage was approved, the sun still rose in the east and life went on.
