First of all, the 'if I can't marry, no one should' idea sounds extremely childish to me.

Sounds childish to me, too. Why, did someone suggest that?

Second, why would someone that believes marriage shouldn't be a legality care if it is legal in some cases?

I can think of a few reasons, some of which are hypothetical and some of which are reasons which matter to me. One would be principle. Why should government decide who can marry and who cannot? Another would be benefits. Why should people who are not married be considered second class citizens?

Example: English is not America's official language. They're thinking of making it the legal language. Did making it official change anything? (if English has already become the official language, then imagine this example a couple of years ago and it's still appliable)

It might, depending on what we mean by "official". I have heard that in French Quebec there are laws against putting English on signs and advertisements and so forth unless there is also French, and the French is in a larger font. That sounds like a pretty important difference to me.
