Many people have suffered from discrimination irl, and I imagine it makes them uncomfortable to, in a sense, see it reflected in-game as well. Whether or not they'll use this system is irrelevant; I think they simply want to know that they're treated as equals, and that their tastes are ultimately respected and welcomed.
- Does getting married, same sex or otherwise, effect your ability to play this game?
- Does getting married, same sex or otherwise, through the game mechanics affect your ability to get married ICly? Do you NEED this mechanic in order to validate your coupling IC?
- Does a marriage in a game affect you in real life or have any impact on you outside of the game?
- Will the implementation of same sex marriage in a video game increase tolerance of gay rights globally or even nationally in any way?
- Do you think that making demands on a forum that SE does not read, or even one that they do, will get your point across adequately enough to make a change, or even facilitate a response from the developers?
If you answered no to any of these questions, you should probably move on with your life because this topic has veered very far off course and only marginally has anything to do with FFXIV or its marriage system anymore.

This is how I understood it, at least. I apologize if it's not the case.
