Same strategy as "School Choice" or "Parent's Rights", the first was created to suck money out of the public school infrastructure and put an end to quality free public schooling, the second to basically make children property again.

The headline is agit-prop, letting an extremist group label themselves with some misleading name like "Medical Freedom" is as bad ad repeating the "Death Tax" or "School Freedom" talking points, which is how we lost the estate tax and quality free public schools.
Well, sure but really…
That means no joint filing
So taxes should inherently favor marriage over being single!? As a divorced person, dealing with splitting tax benefits has been a major source of conflict.
adding spouses to insurance would be the same as adding any other family member
I mean, yeah!? If I have insurance and want to extend it to my family, why do I care if it's "partner", "spouse", or "dependent" I want all of them covered!
changing last names for marriage would be as hard as regularly changing your last name
which is an advertisement and a court appearance, so not impossibly hard, and why is changing your name so important in the first place?
children would not inherently have dual citizenship in mixed nationality marriages
Ooooooh, you want to have citizenship still, not a global equatable basis for existence and identity which can fluidly move around as your needs and desire dictate? You still want to be the slave of a nation and not a citizen of the world, cool, I guess.
the government is deeply intertwined with marriage and removing it would remove a lot of perks that married conservatives really enjoy
Keep licking that boot, I hear kinks keep the spark alive in those long term monogamous conservative relationships

Now, in this case, you’ve run into slang usage that only loosely adheres to the dictionary usage.
Honestly, I think this usage is very much the dictionary sense of "appealing in a pretty or endearing way". "cute" covers a range of attractiveness or appeal in a way that applies across the spectrum of more specific compliments. It's a safe complement to use, no-one is likely to be offended where "sexy" or "hot" is more loaded and explicit.
It's also a more implied/less explicit way to say "sexy" (e.g. that's a cute guy) and also works for non-sexualized things like babies and pets so again, it's a safer choice.
Can we talk about the weird painting/photo of Mitt and his seven kids?
Why not? I've got a hard drive which I lost the keys to I'd like to recover, and having all the old secrets out in the open would be really interesting.
