Quote by: Protostar What does everyone think of this? How about we get the government out of marriage altogehter? Why recognize anyone's marriage? I never intend to get married, so my partner and I will not be able to reap the benefits that the government offers married folks. Will that make our relationship worth any less than married folks? No, so why should they get perks and not everyone? I don't feel the government should be involved in marriage on any level, federal, state, or local. |
That's easy. Because anyone currently entitled to -- and receiving -- the bennies don't want to give them up.
Despite fawning over promotion and support of families in this thread, and despite the fact that the bennies are unequal, it's really about I-got-mine-so-to-hell-with-you.
