There really isnt any good reason for gay people to not have the right to be married. However, I still look at this whole process as backwards. The problem wasnt that the government wasnt allowing gay marriage, the problem was that the government had any say in who marries who to begin with. Marriage is a commitment between two people to share their lives together, people shouldnt have to ask the governments permission to do so. Let alone pay the government for the right to it. People should have been fighting to get the government out of marriage all together instead of begging them to control it even more... |
This. The case was really about a man trying to get the death benifits from his late husband. It essetially became a tax issue though and this is the point. The matter was actually quite simple A matter of gender discrimination but got blown out of proportion when states tried to invalidate his marriage to deny him benifits. Which is rather cruel.
