the point being - if we discriminate in favour of marriage because of an arrangement (parenting) that it no longer exclusively promotes, then perhaps the "egalitarian" solution is not to confer such rights on homosexual couples, but to remove them from spouses.

why should unmarried couples and single people be discriminated against in favour of married people (hetero and homosexual alike)?

hi clo,

i agree that marriage was once the way folks had children.

but nowadays, children issue forth from all sorts of arrangements.

i don't see why we don't tie the advantages to parents rather than to folks who have entered a terminable contract.

by the way, if married individuals last longer, that may be good for them but that is something different from a public good. a public good offers a benefit to society as opposed to individuals.
