| TheRealMafoo said: I say ban marriage... all marriage. Well, don't ban it, but why recognize it as anything? A religious union should have no place in the US government. If you want to give people who share a life together some tax breaks, or extra benefits, then fine. Have a Civil Union, and require EVERYONE who wants government benefits under this Union to apply for it. It should have nothing to do with marriage. |
I agree wholeheartedly. Marriage is a religious ceremony, not a government act. It should hold no bearing whatsoever. I further this point to allow people to be chosen to be added to legal documents without marriage - like a live-in girlfriend to be able to be added to your medical insurance plan so they have coverage too. The legal binds of marriage shouldn't be only for people that are married.
