The fact you seem to miss is that marriage is not just another contract, it's a religious contract. Since all the religions I know of don't approve of homosexuality it makes it impossible for same sex couple to marry. I always suspected that people who were married by a Justice of the Peace, or a Captain of a ship weren't really married. Does that also mean that atheists can never get married? Furthermore, it would create an economic nightmare to force companies to offer benefits to same sex couples. You must have a significant number of persons that live as same sex couples. 50%? I would find a way around it I'm sure you would give it your best effort. Should we off[er] people who share needles the special family plan as well? They do inadvertently share DNA so does that qualify them too? If you believe that "sharing DNA" is the only defining part of marriage relationship, then yes. Of course that would suggest that two people shaking hands probably inadvertently share DNA. jttmab
