Marriage cannot become more debased than it already is. The heterosexuals have killed it- with their serial monogamy. I'm ok with letting it die. Either let the state marry everybody or nobody. The state shouldn't be in the business of guarding the "sanctity" of anything- that's "holiness" or "sacredness" after all- and we leave that to churches. I really don't care who marries whom, or who forms a life partnership with whom- as long as people find ways to live which keep them happy and which help them form stable families. I'd like for people to find more stable ways to live than marriage- marriage clearly isn't stable in our society- the divorce rate being what it is. I don't know what would be more stable, but perhaps we'll find something. Or not. I wonder how many of the "sanctity" of marriage folks, "defending" marriage from gay people, are divorced. It would be kind of a kick to know that- because I am guessing at least 50% of them have been divorced at least once. But I'd love to see some numbers. I imagine the hypocrisy would be entertaining.
