Gay Marriage

I'm all for equal rights. Whatever floats your boat, it doesn't bother me - in fact it doesn't affect me at all. If you want to get married to the person you love and that makes you happy then go right ahead and I don't mind a bit.

But WHY would anyone want to get married? Why do adults need the intervention of the state to ratify or validate their relationship? It's never made any sense to me. People should be able to make these sorts of arrangements between themselves without having to bring the government into it. Seeking the state's approval to shack up and breed is so ... medieval.

But maybe that's just me. What's even odder is that people who either have no intention of breeding or no chance of breeding should seek to subjugate themselves to such archaic legislation specifically concerning pedigree. With modern paternity testing the very concept of legitimacy and bastardy is moot and considering the fact that women are generally able to support themselves independently in society... well, it boggles my mind that any modern person would seek the license of any church or government for permission to start a family.

Why these days is it just seen as a way to REALLY love each other? I blame Disney.
