OK Popa. As a person, you ask for freedoms. Why should you deny two people a contract together? Is there anything immoral about two men signing a contract together?
Marriage in the US is a contract that affords two people certain basic rights – inheritence laws, burial laws, recieving SS/disability, often healthcare through employers, not having to testify against your spouse….plus a lot more.
Why do we decide to limit these benefits to a man and a woman? Why can’t two men have a legal contract? That is all “marriage” is. Well, besides for a fancy party that can help stimulate the economy.
Would you want to limit interracial marriage? Or interfaith marriage?
The American system of law agrees that there is nothing wrong with killing animals as long as you do so humanely. That’s why cockfights are illegal. Its only PETA who thinks animals are equal or greater to humans. And they have the right to not eat animals. Imagine if their morality was forced on the rest of us! No one is asking you to contribute to a gay marriage.
