Irony

I find this article slightly ironic. By not signing they can't legally get married. Now they know what it's like to love someone and not get to marry them, and not get any of their benefits. Seriously can someone please explain to me we so many people are against same sex marriage? Is it the religious aspect? I don't understand at all. If it's a religious rite of passage, then atheists should be allowed to marry. I think all same sex couples are after is for the benefits. Being able to take someone else's last name, sharing benefits, making medical decisions, all that good stuff. Maybe now, when people choose not to sign their marriage licenses out of protest, they will know what it is same sex couple truly seek.
