Whose objecting to marriage?

I'm objecting to what should honestly be a mostly ceremonial thing being the only way to get access to certain rights and privileges that I believe should not be gated behind such things.

Like... Peelee hasn't really explained why marriage is irreplaceable in regard to things like military benefits. What's stopping legislation from being passed that would allow unmarried couples with one member in the military from being able to fill out some paperwork to ensure that those benefits are granted to a long-term partner as an alternative?
