I disagree

Marriage is not love. Some love leads to marriage, some marriage leads to love, and sometimes people stay married because of love. I support gay marriage (and poly marriage, etc) exactly as much as I support marriage at all, but I can't bring myself to copy a statement I see as false.

I would prefer that the state drop the whole "marriage" thing and go with domestic partnerships (perhaps of different levels, one of which having pretty much all the rights and privileges currently awarded to marriage), because calling it marriage encourages people to see a rather strong connection between church and state. But of course, in this country we don't discourage that anymore.

marriage, contract, love, government
