The lifestyle is not the issue - it's the legal sanction of it that is

No problem there. But in the very next paragraph you are saying you
want government to sanction their "marriage". Trying to slip one in on
us? (pun intended)

But I'm not asking them to pass new laws to promote, endorse, and
encourage my hypothetical unapproved lifestyle. That's effectively what
you're asking for in demanding legal recognition of gay "marriage" (an
oxymoron).
