I agree with you that the extended family can be a better situation than a Nuclear family, although I'm not quite sure what you've described is an "extended family" in the way that I understand it and have it. I still think that youre argument for gay marriage is pretty weak and seems to ignore the issues that opponents of gay marriage are tlaking about.

Well, we have gotten off track.

My basic argument for gay marriage is that consenting, non-blood-related adults should be allowed to arrange their lives as they see fit. Part of that is the ability to sign a legal contract that is commonly called "marriage." Mind you, that is something different than the religious rite of marriage.

To explain how this is consistent with opposition to no-fault divorce, as marriage is a contract, no-fault divorce is a breaking of the contract without cause.

I have some stuff that needs to be done, so if I don't respond quickly to any further responses, that's the reason.
