More gay marriage stuff

Yet another editorial

A quote:

"If those seeking to ban gay marriage prevail, Seidman notes, we will be left with a country where casual sex between gay strangers is entitled to absolute constitutional protection, while long-standing relationships between committed partners are afforded none.

Talk about a resounding victory for family values."

Those who are in long-standing committed relationships would have the same Constitutional protection as those having casual sex. No more and no less.

I think it would to *everyone's* benefit to just get the government out of marriage in the first place. Tax benefits for married partners is unfair and a form of social engineering. All the other benefits can be obtained through contracts, power of attorney, living wills, etc. Everyone should be required to do this, heterosexual and homosexual alike. There should be no automatic benefit to being married.
