I don't feel like I said anything insulting Yellow. If it's offensive to you I would ask why?

What you're saying doesn't make sense. You might not find what you say insulting, but others might. Have you thought about that? What about when someone uses a derogatory word or racial slur, would it be ok, just because they didn't personally find it insulting?
No, you are wrong about a marriage being federally recognized.
Quote:
The Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA, is the short title of a federal law of the United States passed on September 21, 1996 as Public Law No. 104-199, 110 Stat. 2419. Its provisions are codified at 1 U.S.C. § 7 and 28 U.S.C. § 1738C. The law has two effects:
No state (or other political subdivision within the United States) need treat a relationship between persons of the same sex as a marriage, even if the relationship is considered a marriage in another state.
The Federal Government may not treat same-sex relationships as marriages for any purpose, even if concluded or recognized by one of the states.
The bill was passed by Congress by a vote of 85-14 in the Senate[1] and a vote of 342-67 in the House of Representatives[2], and was signed into law by President Bill Clinton on September 21, 1996.
