Of course they didnt allow for the possibilty of a selfish gay trying to horn in on the benefits of children. The thought couldnt have possibly crossed their mind.
But you and I both know the intent of these benes
dont we?
It appears you're the one who has been goaded into making multiple stupid comments.
...Not sure what else to expect with a name like "boner."
I'm not going to waste much time on the mass of stupidity and ignorance you have unleashed on this thread, but I will just point out that if you think Black's Law Dictionary is an official statement of what the law is you know even less than I thought.
If you consider using a legal reference as evidence of stupidity and ignorance, we have no common ground to communicate further.
No, you are wrong. If it was for the progeny, then only couples with children would get the benefits and rights. <snipped useless commentary>
Socialist benefits for "married couples" are derived from participation in FICA / Socialist InSecurity. Non-participants would have no access to such benefits.
As to common law rights, under a common law marriage, the prerequisite of children from the marriage was already established. (See: curtesy, dower, and coverture).
For privileges (mistakenly called rights) derived from licensed marriage of those who are incapable of entering into a common law marriage, that is entirely up to the State that is granting permission.
Since common law marriages do not need permission (license) of the State, I suggest one inquire into WHY homosexuals could not enter into a common law marriage. Perhaps, it is because there are no progeny to endow the joined property, thus making the contract meaningless.

No matter how you word it, children are still not a prerequisit to marriage, nor required of marriage, nor do the rights and benefits have anything to do with children. That is why marriage is not just open to couples planning on having a family. If that were the case, there would be no legal standing for sterile or old people to marry, sorry old people, just a reference. The arguement saying it is all about the kids is lame and tired. So, only straight people pay into FICA, we gays don't pay taxes. Wow, wish we knew that so that we can stop paying for your greed.

as enumerated throughout this thread. there are over 1000 rights and benefits in marriage that are given to a recognized married couple. only 10% of them have to do with money.
Wasn't there a thread here recently, whining about how married people have to pay more taxes?
