There are a lot of things that have gone wrong with how we treat marriage in this country, but letting gays marry I think is the least of them. I would be more comfortable with it if gay marriage supporters were half as concerned about the institution of marriage itself as they were about using the issue as a tool to route out "bigots" and feel superior about themselves. Not all are that way of course, but if often seems like it. It just seems like so many liberals care so much about gay marriage on one hand, but simultaneous talk out of the other side of their mouth about how marriage is an archaic institution that should be done away with and about how progressive they are for opposing this anachronistic holdover. You can't have it both ways.
oh man just stop no
as for my own views, i think marriage should be privatized. don't see why people can't draw up their own contracts rather than getting the state involved constantly, in what's an artificial institution to begin with. so yeah, that'd mean i'm pro-gay marriage and pro-polygamy.
