Kind of sounds like the arguments that racists made 60 years ago. How dare those black people want to drink out of the same water fountains and go to the same schools our kids do. And using the government to enforce their view?
Ever notice that the right always defines freedom as the ability of the haves to abuse the have-nots? A hotel or a hospital shouldn't be defining your ability to use their facilities, especially if you are the one PAYING for the service. That's why we have public accommodation laws.
I can kind of see your point. Your bigotry clearly makes you "happy". You really don't like it when the government or the culture tell you that your bigotry is bad.
If straight people are happy getting married, they should. And if they aren't happy or realize they made a mistake, they should be able to get no-fault divorces with each side being able to leave the union with EXACTLY what they came in with.
As pointed out, the definition of marriage has changed all the time as the roles of men and women have changed. 100 years ago, it was difficult for a woman to get a divorce, she often had to grin and bear it if her husband kept a mistress on the side. It wasn't considered a crime if he forced sex on her. It was considered acceptable to beat one's wife if she got out of line.

It's spousal abuse and it's funny!
Except that 40% of births in this county now happen outside of wedlock, and it just isn't the big deal it used to be. As far as the right of a couple to perpetuate genetics, today we have surrogacy, in-vitro fertilization, etc.
If anything, our "Free Market" often means couples are putting off child bearing to their 30's when their biological clocks are running out! You have to stay in school until you are 22 or so just to get the credentials to get a good job, another decade or so getting established and paying down your debt, and then, and only then, do you think about having kids on WHOOPS... too old now and your kids have Down Syndrome. Or the rich couple paying a pregnant team to adopt her baby.
Actually, marriage is a tax penalty, unless you have enough kids to offset it. The funny thing is that a lot of cohabitating straight couples were taking advantage of "domestic partner" rules to get benefits, because the bigots and Christian nutters (but I repeat myself) wanted to create a separate drinking fountain. After gay marriage was legalized, companies started demanding that you show a marriage certificate to get your partner on your insurance.
So ironically, gay marriage actually caused a lot more Straight Marriage to happen. You guys should be happy about that!
Of course, simple enough way to stop this sort of abuse. Universal health care like every other civilized country has.
