hi tkc,

i am not sure we are in alignment as i am not sure i know enough about the purpose of discrimination in favour of married people.

equality just seems irrelevant to me. sometimes there's a social purpose to discrimination in favour of a group (such as parents). but i don't see it in the case of marriage.

what's the social purpose in giving folks who make reversible commitments an advantage over single people or unmarried couples?

i see a reason to benefit parents. but that's a different set.

at this moment, i see no reason for marital equality in federal law. as i see no reason for marital advantage at all. marital advantage of any kind.

maybe i am missing something.

Hi CF, " it should simply create a template of rules around the legal elements of long-term contracts between parties and their dependents." Exactly,allow equality. DOMA (not you faul) should die. I believe prop 8 is unconstitutional and the court will find that it is. I think they'll be mute on legalization of homosexual marriage and leave that up to the states. This discrimination stuff is so yesterday and in my view hypocritical of those proclaiming to be religous. It's way past time to move on.
