The legal marriage is necessary for a wide range of benefits - from tax to estate to health insurance. Screwing around like that would necessarily cause a ripple effect in any number of related areas of law.

IOW, they’re messing with forces beyond their control or understanding. Just because they don’t want teh ghey getting married in a civil marriage even though it doesn’t affect anyone else’s marriage one iota. Well, blocking civil marriages would harm everyone, so there’s that.
