again, please share any basis to deny equal treatment to same sex couples that are currently provided to heterosexual couples that are not based on religious dogma. as far as I can see no legitimate reasons have been given.

Who determines what a legitimate reason is?

there is no argument that government CAN place limitations, government is the body that recognizes marriage, and is the body that provides the benefits that are provided to married couples.
the fact that it can prohibit the practice does not however make the prohibition just and equitable.

just and equitable to whom?
Who determines "fair"?
