For this libertarian anyway I cant understand what all the fuss is about.
Who decided that the government gets to decide what marriage is anyway? If marriage is a religious or personal matter then let it be the province of individuals or religious bodies to define in their own way. People do that anyway in real life. These folks were married in their own eyes and in the eyes of whatever community mattered to them and nobody else can take that away from them.
All government needs to do is to define a civil union, or whatever you want to call it for reasons of property rights and children.
Having a government definition of marriage is like have a government definition of what constitutes a legitimate bar-mitzvah or whom is a real muslim.
Problem solved.
