A non-fight

What persons on all three sides of the gay marriage issue are missing:

1. The federal government has no standing to govern contracts between individuals. 
2. The state government has no standing other than enforcement of legal contracts. 
3. Two people can enter in any contract they wish.
4. There should be no legal distinction between a marriage and a legal contract of the same kind.

Therefore, persons who exercise their legal rights to enter into a contract can do so whenever and however they wish. If they call it a marriage, that's archaic, but not controversial. Nobody should care. This is a non-fight, and should go away.
