that being said

I couldn't care less what someone else does

its always been interchangeable with sex

if it makes them happy so what

just becaus I think being gay is immoral doesn't mean I care about that either

my wife and I proudly did photography for a gay frond of ours in texas when it became legal

people need to make their own choices to be happy

for the record gay marriage should absolutely be legal

didn't anyone to get me wrong on that

for the record, marriage probably shouldn't be a legal construct.

or at least not in name

totally freaking agree

call it a union whatever

this is for straight or gsy

Co-dependent union contract

yup

natural order of things

marriage should be used to protect children from living in a single parent home, everything else is bullshit to make money for the diamond industry 😉

call it a civic union and be done with it. let people and churches decide who gets to call themselves married

I wish there was a centrist conservative

i mean, i took that argument from ben

Crowder is close

yeah Ben is right on that one

government shounbt be in the marriage business

It's odd that the legal idea of marriage is tied to the idea of a sexual relationship

well it was not anymore

technically i don;t think it is

It technically isn't, and shouldn't

i think common law marriage is just "you've been living in the same place for like 10 years. you are married now."

If two MGTOW straight best friends plan on being roommates for the forseeable future (well-planned out), should they be able to get the legal benefits of marriage?

(like if the uncles in Secondhand Lions hadn't actually been related, just good friends)

I support completely privatising marriage

really i think the legal aspects of marriage should be split up into different pieces that can be applied for separately, depending on criteria only relevant to them.

I crafted that same argument independently.

It's the most libertarian path you can take on the issue

and actually utilizes the concept of 'Separation of Church and State' in a way that makes sense.

it makes sense, i just never occurred to me, idk why really.

i mean, the though of calling current marriage just civil union so as to avoid the word marriage occurred to me long ago.
