I think this is just the beginning. Marriage as a concept is now worthless, or at any rate, without content. Listening to the court, in any case, you'd think that marriage from the very start had been about nothing except creating units to receive state benefits.

A Freeper on another thread asked what was to stop him from marrying his burro, and would the state then please pay his vet bills if he did?

BTW, the rest of Jacoby's article is very interesting and worth clicking the link to read. He discusses the slippery slope argument, and points out that this turned out exactly the way people who were opposed to the Equal Rights Act predicted it would - that is, sliding all the way down that slippery slope.

The article is also interesting because it exactly forwarns about the fact that pC is now full blown Doublespeak.

Marriage is about children and reinforceing the model that has children.

Marriage is not about love or even orgasm. Homosexuality is only about orgasm.
