Whenever issues of "marriage" come up as they relate to laws, I have only one view.
IMO, there should only be legal partnerships between people. Some sort of "marriage" or "civil union" is really just a partnership. All the mixing up of religion and medieval social tradition just makes a mess of what is really just a "contract" between people. I don't understand why anyone would need more than that to be recognized by the law - no matter what their gender.
So, as a direct response to the thread - I don't know why anyone would want to get married. That's the only thing that ever "disturbs" me about marriage.
