From an anti-authoritarian queer perspective rights and the governments that give us them are not something to strive for. Marriage can be seen as a apparatus of assimilation and control, because it is through it that the state and morality validates our most personal relationships.
The heart of the ban of gay marriage is not marriage, but the perpetuation of social and moral hierarchy. What the right does not understand is that social hierarchy maintained by a strictly religious morality is less and less relevant. Perhaps the resurgence, or last dieing gasp, of evangelism is evidence of this.
You're also assuming the identity of the person who wrote the question. Would it be different if a person who identified as queer wrote it? Point being is that we could critique ideas not their perceived identities.
While I think it's irrelevant as well (not so obvious is it?) other than proving a point, the writer of this question is in fact queer and co-wrote the quiz with me. It's perhaps arrogant in response to assimilationist tendencies among the LGTBQ community. What could be a catalyst against all the dominates turns into just another recuperative identity that seeks valorization through its ascension in the social hierarchy of capital. This is more than frustrating to some.
Most people don't usually get all insurrectionist war-machine. I created the quiz and somehow I still managed to get some irrelevant leftist. But yes, it definitely is "tongue-in-cheek". Some ideas I have affinity with and ones that I don't receive somewhat harsher treatments. It's intended to deconstruct all of these categories.
