Why Gay Marriage?
The primary justification for marriage licensing in modern civilization is the promotion of social stability. In spite of the increased incidence of divorce (50 %?), it must be conceded that without state licensing of marriage and the difficulty of extracting oneself from it, man/woman pairings would be even less permanent – more transitory.
Isn’t that enough reason to add the same incentive in support of longer-lasting relationships between same-sex partners?
