Quote by: Isherwood  I'd disagree. In fact, most of the gays I know who want to get married have the same unrealistic, 1950s concept of marriage that too many straights do. They've bought into the myth and closed their eyes to the reality of marriage. No relationship, gay or straight, married or just committed, will survive if it isn't grounded on solid principles. |
That is exactly the problem, we've made marriage far too easy to get into and far, far, far too easy to get out of. You can go get married whenever you want, even to someone you just met, and nobody can stop you. You can file for divorce the next day with no real consequences, especially if you filled out a pre-nuptual agreement before you got married.
The failure rate of marriage in the U.S. isn't because of homosexuals, it's because of stupid, self-centered heterosexual morons who don't bother to think what's going to happen when they get married and therefore, have no reason to think they can't just get out of it whenever they want.
