Description
Everyone should enjoy this civil right. Someday, everyone will. Right now, full citizenship and full civil rights can be witheld from you if you are not heterosexual. There are only a few exception so far, based on which state you are in.Marriage has the value that we give to it. For ages, involuntary marriages have ocurred. Still do. Every day.
Marriages can be cancelled at the convenience of all married people in the US. It's a lucrative industry in all corners of our country, much like the wedding industry.
Convicts in maximum security prisons can get married and do. We allow it. It is a fundamental right, after all. This isn't new.
There needn't be any love for two people to be wed. It's been this way since...forever! They're called arranged marriages.
How can marriage be considered Holy Matrimony given all of these facts? I am perplexed.
It is a mystifying phenomenon.

Marriage isn't a civil right for anyone. I'm not saying it as a homophobe either, I think marriage should be a religious tradition that has no legal meaning. Gays won't want to get married because they won't get anything out of it.

If marriage has no legal meaning then explain the various tax, estate, medical consent, and similar marrige benifits that exist in law.

No marrige was created by religious people
so forget marrige and live together anyway unless youe religious.

for the benefits, without the govt doling out benefits, most people who get married wouldn't what's the divorce rate again? It seems most people marry all the time for the wrong reasons, that is why divorces become inevitable.

Most people who get divorces are Christian, what does that tell you?
As far as benefits are concerned those are right reasons to marry. Ever paid for a funeral out of your own pocket?
A family friend did 14 years ago because the state of Illinois didn't recognize her common law marriage to her male partner. When he died she had to pay for the whole funeral herself.

So money is what matters most to you, thanks for revealing the type of person you are. If I may be so bold in offering my own opinion, money does not matter. It even makes a poor material object since the majority of money in circulation is not in material form, but conceptual. Animals don't pay for funerals and they seem to do fine, why not just burry your dead yourself, shovels aren't that expensive? You seriously need to have someone else do it? You focus tooΒ much on materialΒ and that is not a good reason to marry,Β you're marriage will not lastΒ long if its based in corruptible material objects. Β

Wow.
I never said it was me. I said it was a family friend. If you're trying to imply that I'm lying then you're a sick piece of shit. This actually happened to someone. She wasn't legally married according to the state of Illinois, and had to bury her partner of many years whom she loved dearly. She was heart broken. She lost someone she thought was her soul mate.
Obviously you've never experience the death of a loved one. Though I assume that you wouldn't care. Must be nice having a heart made of ice. To be so cruel. I'll pray for your wretched soul, so that God will heal it and show it love.

If you believe in God, you believe in an afterlife I'm assuming. If she enters the same afterlife as her partner why should it matter where the body goes after he is gone. It was simply a vehicle for his eternal soul. From that perspective worrying about burying the body is like worrying about where to park a car you totaled. Wouldn't the true solution in such a case be to commit suicide? If you are sad someone left, go to where they left to. It is a logical solution to the problem, then neither of them would have to worry about burying the bod, it will be someone else's problem.

This kind of made me sad. I'm an American but my girl's Canadian. Well, up there, it would be legal for us to get married but recently, I heard they made it so you had to be Canadian born. This makes me very sad. Shit, I wouldn't mind if it was Canadian citizen because I'd have no problem becoming one.

People spend too much time conflating religious marriage, love, and the legal rights that come with marriage. Whether you get a religious marriage is up to the religion you chose to take part in (if you choose one at all). Whether you have love is up to you and your choice of partner. Whether you have legal rights... that should be something that our government protects for every person.
What you do in your bedroom is not going to impact what I do in mine and it's silly to use that as a regressive argument to treat people poorly. I've been married for three years and I've seen my friends take part in good and very bad marriages. People's mistakes have little relation to gender or the romantic choices of those around them.
