This institution has staying power that stretches my credulity:
I don't see a reason for legally defined marriage for anyone. It would be a better world if individuals were treated individually for tax and property purposes.
The notion of a business partnership would cover the necessary economic and tax advantage items that make a difference regarding marriage and the law. As for children, the same type of business partnership arrangement could cover mutual responsibilities.
Marriage just doesn't create anything but another layer of conceptual problematics in people's lives. If people want to overlay romantic love on their business partnerships, that's their call. I just don't see a reason to "legalize" it - doesn't matter which sex, gender, or preference is involved.
