If a couple want to wed in the church of fatter day saints, or the church of the poison mind, or the church of the almighty dollar, and want to enter into a marriage contract, then gov't should rightfully enforce that contract if one spouse decides later on to take the other one to court over said contract. Also, family law is there to protect the children in case of abuse etc. etc.
So outside of enforcement of contracts and children, the gov't should not treat singles and marrieds any differently; taxes or otherwise.

Some call it the "right to be left alone".

Except that we've now lost the entire legal justification of government encouraging contractual cohabitation, and are just rewarding people regardless of whether it benefits society as a group.
I still lean toward #2. It's not the government's business to decide which relationships ought to be encouraged and discouraged, only to ensure those relationships do not infringe upon the natural rights of man.

9th ammendment:
"The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
Enumeration: Enumerate vb 1 : to determine the number of : count 2 : list
Construed: 1. Interpret (a word or action) in a particular way.
Disparage: 1. Regard or represent as being of little worth.
With smaller words:
Determining the numer of constitutional rights shell not be interpreted in a way as to deny or belittle other rights helled by the people.
So, one can not attempt to keep the gays from getting hitched by saying it's unconstitutional, because that would deny and belittle the gays right to equal rights through marriage.
