why, exactly?

to clarify before someone overzealously bans me without realizing that I'm for real, and I've been on FR for a nice long time...

Goldwater himself argued for more tolerance of gay people. Marriages are, at their most basic, stripped of religion level, contracts.

What justification do you have for stripping people of their free will to join a contract? Free will is one of the foundations of all western, republican (small R) freedoms. So I ask a very basic question: why ought we to restrict this very basic and very precious freedom? Is there a justification?

Forgive me, but it would be difficult to explain to someone from Berkley. Hope you understand. Love and kisses.
