As I already mentioned, it's a government institution. It's best not to refer to it as anything beyond that. Intuiting "rights" or "privilege" into something that acts more as a social program than anything else needlessly romanticizes it.

Where did I say they didn't? The point I made in bringing up a lack of surprises was that homosexual couples have all the time in the world to prepare for child-support prior to adoption or artificial insemination.
