FWIW, in addition to producing the next generation of a society marriage has provided some contractual stability for the spouse and children which also benefits society. Unfortunately, we now live in a society where feelings are more important than reason.
There is no reason for homosexuals to marry one another. Every protection they want can already be done. It's because they want people to think their lifestyle is happy, healthy and normal.
Mark Stein wrote a great book about demographics called America Alone. I highly recommend it. Demographics are destiny. Marriage is critical to a growing society because in most cases it produces children.
So essentially it’s just a matter of one group wanting to do something, and another not wanting them to do it?
They love to talk about being allowed to visit each other in the hospital. I have been waiting for years for someone to give me the name of just one hospital that has a policy that prohibits homosexuals from visiting each other.
>>There is no reason for homosexuals to marry one another.
Actually, there is. As in most things, follow the money. The issue here is spousal insurance benefits from employers.
On that note, should this ruling stand, how long will it be before we find two same-sex *heterosexuals* getting married purely so one can take advantage of the other’s employer’s insurance?
