Right now we have a better shot at undermining some of the arguments from the counter-culture Left of the 1960s and 1970s by encouraging strong marriages and two-parent family units. You didn't somehow think that this marriage institution was the same thing as those who were seeking to undermine social expectations entirely by questioning the entire concept of marriage and family structures, did you?
I'm not questioning the concept of marriage. I'm questioning government's intervention into it - specifically with regard to tax benefits.
If people want to get married in a religious ceremony for the purpose of...I dunno, whatever women want it for - I'm good with it. Celebration of love, own a man's balls, free gifts from a registry...whatever. That's fine.
That is where it should end, however.
