I can speak from experience. I was legally married to a post op transexual for 2 years in the United States. Marriage in terms of a govermant has nothing to do with religion but everything to do with fiscal responsibilities. In the US the idea is to give families tax breaks so they can raise their families and help them incure the cost increase of a stay at home spouse and kids. Not many straight couples do not have children and not all marriages have a stay at home spouse so the tax break seems like a tax penalty. Marriages assign rights that civil unions and other arrangements do not. In case anyone is wondering my marriage was legal and infact even recognzed by the INS though it had to be fought and I do consider myself straight despite what people may think. DOMA can not interfer with a marriage where the country legally recognizes one part of the marriage a man and the other a woman. I appreciate people for who they are and I like who I like but to me I do not find men sexy.
