Antoninus: Your liberaltarian ideas are too benighted for words. Western societies are built upon the institution of the traditional marriage and family.
How does that respond to his comment? For instance, in my state, there were still people who were not required to get a marriage license as late as 1940. My state recognized common law marriages into the 1960s, and I think that there are still some states that do.
I know it's remarkable, but my state managed to hold western civilization intact for a long time without requiring marriage licenses.
Welcome to my world. I get in trouble on these forums for suggesting that government should not be involved in family planning, and that if you give them that power than can do things with it that you don’t like. However, most have such an unhealthy hatred/obsession with homosexuality that they can’t see that.
