arbitrary?? Hasn't the man-woman marriage thing been pretty much the norm in civilization since... oh 2,500BC??

I always thought the way to get this through a court was to decalre ALL mariages illegal. The liberal courts want everyone equal at the lowest common demoninator. Rather than push for the rather small gay marriage, why not get rid of all mariages. It would be sure to keep the lawyers busy for decades.
