Baloney, as you say. The bills say they do not allow same-sex marriages.
There are no prohibitions against gays marrying persons of the opposite sex.
The restrictions are the same for everybody. Really, though, marriage has
been so re-defined and watered down in the courts and through legislation
that it has become almost meaningless from a legal standpoint. And there are
no laws against same-sex marriages being performed outside of government
sanction.

Here we have gone from "we don't want any government restricting our sex
life" to "we want the blessing of the government on our social
relationships." Seems hypocritical, to say the least.
