Gays and Lesbians Vis-a-vis the State

I think those in the LGBT movement should take note of this blog post. Especially the following statement:

[The situation referred to in the blog post] happened because the state has monopolized the definition of marriage--and imposes irrational, unjust, crushing tort liability on the heavily-regulated medical industry--so everyone follows the state's definitions partly out of fear of reprisal and liability. The state ought to no more recognize marriage any more than it ought to recognize what religion you are officially a part of.

Those in the LGBT movement should take heed when they think they can use the government for good, such as passing anti-discrimination laws that actually restrict the freedom of association for private citizens, just like Boromir thought he could use the One Ring for good in The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
