Gay Marriage

Marriage, when you get right down to the nuts and bolts of it, is a social contract. The "providing for the stable emotional and financial support for raising children" argument does not hold due to the fact that many married people do not have children, yet they are still considered to be "married". The "God-ordained" part of it is made mockery by the level of divorce, notably among those very proponents of the ban on gay marriage. God change his mind? Religious arguments lack merit due to the demonstrated hypocrisy of the practitioners.Iif two consenting adults wish to enter into the contract of marriage, which is to co-support one another financially and medically, then I say let them. They can enjoy the marriage tax penalty along with the rest of us, and watch their credit ratings go to hell when co-mingled with their spouses, and can suffer the pleasure of divorce.
