| Gay Marriage and Equal Rights?
Does anyone else find it a little odd that gay mariage activists are wanting equal rights for both gay and married couples, but wish for unmarried people to remain second class citizens?
Why should a sexual relationship be prerequisite to the benefits of marriage?
Why shouldn't roomates get the same prviliges? If some guy and his best friend share an apartment together, they have a houshold income and should be allowed to file jointly.
If Bob, understandably, trusts his best friend more than he does any woman, why should his best friend not be the one to decide when to pull the plug at the hospital?
If Jane is the only one that Betty can really depend on, should she have to be a lesbian in order for Jane to take time off work in order to take care of Betty while she is pregnant?
Can anyone think of a reason why these benefits should only be available to people in a matrimonial relationship, rather than to any two people for whatever reason?
Why should single people not have equal rights to married people?
It seems to me that gay marriage activists don't really want to get rid of the system of unfair privilige, they just want to be let in. |
