Matt:

This becomes a problem is when people enforce their views and opinions on others against their will.

Exactly. But I feel like “milkboys” isn’t quite the place for discussing things of that kind, so I must stop meself.

Matt:

Marriage is desired in order to gain legal rights which are not given to individuals which merely live together. Such rights include the ability to visit dying loved ones in the hospital, tax deductions, mutual ownership of property and accounts, and inheritance.
A famous example (borrowed from Dan Savage) is of a family (a woman and 3 children) who were barred from visiting their dying wife/mother in the hospital because their marriage was not legally recognized in the place they were vacationing. Imagine if someone close to you were dying and instead of being able to see them, you were discriminated against.

Great thanks for constructive answer! Now i feel meself full of ignorant-child-kind-shame, cuz this isn’t what I was thinking about while writing the post.
Yes, I think. Given rights can be considered as a subtopic of marriage, but only as result of accepting the very idea of inevitability of marriage. Sorry for silly idealism, but hope never dies. The whole problem of marriage and the way people think of it (like something natural and useful) is bigger than all gays and they ability to be part of it. Rights people attach to the question of marriage is part of this big problem.
So if you have absolute believe for marriage is something what must be tight with rights, you must fight for it, like for any others. But if you feel that question of who protecting which female from big scary predators while it feeding the child have no common with civil rights, then do anything you can for it be accepted as obsolete, silly, meaningless and no bigger than students or private clubs rites of passage thing. If you’re a doctor then do not prevent obviously close people of visiting someone ill, or ask person to make a list (before illness) of someone who can visit him. If you’re banker then never gives married people more chances to get money than just-a-couple (question of long-trust-payment-ability can be putted as argument against this, but it must die as marriage itself; make people pay if they own you, but before it do not select them by stupid believes). And finally go to the president, and after inauguration say that you’re separating whole question of marriage and state, and it will be connected no more.

I’m sorry to hear you did not enjoy this video.

It is absolutely in-my-humble-opinion thing, and this is really shit.
