That actually makes a difference to me.

I think civil rights for minorities are super important.

I find marriage much less important. It's essentially just a symbol. (Or is it about the tax benefits and legal protections in case of death? That's substantial)

Yeah, just a symbol until your deceased partner's family tries to take your house. Just a symbol until you realize you can't sponsor your foreign partner for immigration because the government doesn't recognize your relationship.

Those legal protections around property are the whole point of the law recognizing marriage.
