However, half of ...Yes, I'm sure that is true. However, half of all marriages fail. About 40% of all women now live without marriage partners. The proportion of the population with sucessful marriages is a minority. So all those 'advantages' don't seem to be working.<br /><br />At any rate, talking about 'love' can make it connect with people who don't google '1,4000 advantages.' Because that is what it is supposed to be about.Red Froghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14757809604839647508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3358148998045555545.post-10460361178799249652009-06-02T17:33:05.605-05:002009-06-02T17:33:05.605-05:00I'm sure you know it is the 1,400 (according to go...I'm sure you know it is the 1,400 (according to google) rights that heterosexual couples are allowed that are denied to same-sex couples that are the main argument for ending discrimination. Rather than trying to fight for each one of those rights on an individual basis, demanding the rights to marry can resolve the issue (legally, at least) in one fell swoop.Ravenmnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11578771107514349258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3358148998045555545.post-72694816162671810502009-06-02T14:10:19.622-05:002009-06-02T14:10:19.622-05:00I believe gays should be allowed to marry. Howeve...I believe gays should be allowed to marry. However, I wonder why they'd want to? Marriage has failed heterosexuals as an institution already.<br /><br />I think the people who promote gay marriage should point out that 'love' is now the official basis for marriage - not wealth, not children, but 'love.' Dry political claims do not sway people. In that sense it is the full fruition of the bourgeois ideal of love as regards marriage.<br /><br />People fought against arranged marriages, and marriages based on class. Then they resisted the idea that they HAD to have children. Gay marriage is the last step.Red Froghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14757809604839647508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3358148998045555545.post-13811315438778346902009-06-01T16:00:02.745-05:002009-06-01T16:00:02.745-05:00Good post.
