I keep hearing this theory in one form or another, but I think people are overlooking one of the most important things about marriage in America, something that I think was a driving motivation for gays to seek legalization of same sex marriage.
TAXES....SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS.....HEALTH INSURANCE.
I don’t know how any of these things would work if we did away with civil marriage.
I guess we could just treat all people equally, whether married or not.
