At least I know everyone will read my post now.
Here are some questions I have.
1. What role, if any, should sex play in the government? Specifically, why should we get tax perks and certain privlidges just because of sexual unions?
2. Should sexual relations imply obligations legally of any kind? Should a spouse be allowed, for example, to simply leave all of their estate to someone other than their sexual partner, or should the fact that two people had sex together for a specified time make them legally obligated to get a cut?
3. Why buy a marriage license? Why should we pay?
4. Should those who are monogomous be allowed to discriminate against those who are not by having special government privlidges over them?
5. What about asexual people? Shouldn't they have the same rights as those who are sexually active? For example, if two people live together and are the best of friends but don't have sex together, why is it they can't file jointly with taxes and provide the same privlidges those that have sex have?
I think the idea is that marriage produces a stable household that is deemed beneficial to raising children.
Tell that to over half the population who divorce.
If a stable household for children is the criterea, then what does marriage have to do with it?
