Reply #7: Marriage is one of the most important of contracts [View All]

When we exchange goods and/on money with anybody, we have expectations of one another and are accustomed to getting them in writing in the form of a "receipt".

There's nothing mystical or threatening about people investing a good part of their lives in one another writing down some expectations of one another and even putting it in writing in the form of a "marriage contract". And when there are offspring involved who don't have the wherewithall to get any guarantees for their protection, it's incumbent on society to make sure that their parents recognize their responsibilities to such children.

And so, far from being "just a piece of paper", the marriage contract is one of the most important of contracts mankind has, for the protection of ALL of the parties involved.

And gays have just as much right to its protections as straights.
