| Ssenkahdavic said: I still do not like the idea of "Marriage" of any kind being part of the governments purview. They should not be involved in this. I know many people who refuse to get married, but want to be considered "Civil Unions" for things like child rearing, visitation rights, etc. They refuse to get married because of the religious context, but still want to tax breaks and other things that come with it. I agree with this. |
Interestingly France is the only country that has allowed all genders to chose between a marrige and a domestic partnership. What they found is the number of oppisite sex couples getting married went down in favor of Civil Unions.
Marriage is so ingranded in US Law it's just easier to include same sex couples, rather than change all the books, and Marriage in the USA doesn't have to be a religous thing.
