Government isn't dictating who can and can't get married. The legal documents outline the benefits that the partner gets, not some standard layout that the gov't sets out ie visitation rights, etc... Gov't doesn't recognize marriage at all just what is in the legal contract. No marriage tax benefits, etc...
