there are lots of gay couples who are saner, smarter and more suitable to raise children than some of the oxygen thieves out there
I'll just leave this here:

Promoting the Well-Being of Children Whose Parents Are Gay or Lesbian

Quote:
Extensive data available from more than 30 years of research reveal that children raised by gay and lesbian parents have demonstrated resilience with regard to social, psychological, and sexual health despite economic and legal disparities and social stigma. Many studies have demonstrated that children's well-being is affected much more by their relationships with their parents, their parents' sense of competence and security, and the presence of social and economic support for the family than by the gender or the sexual orientation of their parents. Lack of opportunity for same-gender couples to marry adds to families’ stress, which affects the health and welfare of all household members. Because marriage strengthens families and, in so doing, benefits children’s development, children should not be deprived of the opportunity for their parents to be married. Paths to parenthood that include assisted reproductive techniques, adoption, and foster parenting should focus on competency of the parents rather than their sexual orientation.

Westboro Baptist Church Home Page

Quote:
The only lawful sexual connection is the marriage bed. All other sex activity is whoremongery and adultery, which will damn the soul forever in Hell. Heb. 13:4. Decadent, depraved, degenerate and debauched America, having bought the lie that It's OK to be gay, has thereby changed the truth of God into a lie, and now worships and serves the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen! Rom. 1:25. But the Word of God abides. Better to be a eunuch if the will of God be so, and make sure of Heaven. Mat. 19:12. Better to be blind or lame, than to be cast into Hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched. Mk. 9:43-48. Abstain, you fools.

*Edit* I think it's unfair for people to get married who don't want children. I think that the financial benefits were put in place, like I said, to facilitate raising children and perpetuating a family.

Polygamous societies are more violent, hence why most societies have marriage - or some equivalent - to help evenly spread the women out and prevent a large percentage of sexless bachelors. It's relevant because it's an institution that has nothing to do with gay men; it wasn't designed for them.

I have no problem with people choosing whoever they want for a healthcare power of attorney, who they live with, who they sleep with, who they bequeath their possessions to, etc. But I'm not sure they should be afforded the same financial benefits as heterosexual couples who want to raise a family.

So should it be illegal to marry if you don't want kids, or not?

Don't be retarded. Of course not. The idea is that if government benefits are applied for the benefit of child rearing, then the benefits should be extended when children are present and not on the basis of a marriage.

I don't think that the financial benefits of marriage should be afforded to people other than for raising a family.

it's good for everyone economically speaking to encourage two people to share a home

What if two people want to marry for non-financial reasons (e.g. to become each other's next of kin), and without intent to raise kids? Should that be legal?

It shouldn't be a question of legality.

Seriously what part of this are you not getting?

the financial angle is weird to me anyway

in this country and back home in the UK, you're afforded the same benefits/status as a married couple if you are in a legit long term relationship

plus you have the whole epidemic of gold digging whores thing with your divorce laws, more nonsense

I remember reading about unusual family structures in Heinleins the moon is a harsh mistress

I wonder if that kind of thing is practiced anywhere currently or if it's at all viable, like some kind of clan structure for family to help ensure it's members survival

Marriage is a legal concept, of course it's a question of legality.

Should it be legal or not?

um, yeah, but marriage also isn't a requirement for having kids. the two just happen to totally randomly be statistically correlated and one just happens to totally randomly predict the other

it's called incentivization

The people you're asking are saying that marriage should not be a legal concept. If it's not, then there is no question of whether it should or should not be legal, it simply would be. There's absolutely no reason to outlaw marriage, so I honestly have no idea what it is you're trying to argue. You're coming across as being deliberately obtuse.

Sure, I don't disagree. I just find it interesting that the incentives for kids come through incentivizing marriage instead of directly incentivizing children.

No it's not.

Based on Keynesian economics anyways.

Imagine a world where most couples divorce and then they own/rent two homes. You just doubled the market. Since real wealth generation doesnt actually matter and simply expanding the market counts. Twice the amount of people with mortgages. Twice the amount of people more likely living paycheck to paycheck which means spending money (paycheck to pay checkers are proven biggest spenders per dollar earned) instead of saving money like greedy hoarders who dont want to stimulate the economy.

If you illegalized divorce let's say and forced couples to live under the same roof you literally just destroyed the housing market as such a significant amount of child rearers have seperate homes/apts that the percentage of market lost just tanked the market.

Obviously I'm hyperbolizing but our current government economic incentives offered to individuals by and large encourage consumption and expenditure over rainy day savings and conservative (fiscally) decision making.
