Right, leave it just like it is because us straights already have our way, no matter about inheritance and adoption rights and being in the hospital at the bedside of a dying love. If you prick them, will they not bleed?
inheritance can be done via a will, as can a named 'next of kin' , and adoption can still by done by single people anyway,
and I can't see why two men or women together, should have more rights in taking on someones elses' kid
Personally, I don't care. Not my business. I also don't care if you and 37 other men and women decide to marry each other and start a big polygamous compound where you hoard guns and worship wax fruit naked in the moonlight. Not my business, not the gov't's business.
The taboo about inter-familial marriage stems from the potential it has for messing up the gene pool.
And, of course, there isn't a huge, vocal movement of people who are asking for the rights to marry members of their immediate family. When that happens, get back to me. Meanwhile, let's stop being bigoted and discriminatory towards people based solely on gender.

why not just abolish marriage entirely then?

so do you think isolated communities should be able to make their own laws in the marriage area then?
I really couldn't care less. But as long as we have marriage, consensual adult couples should have equal access to it, and not be precluded from it based solely on gender.

can you?
I can see them having the same amount of rights as any other couple in taking on someone else's kid.
If you want to fight marriage laws, fight marriage laws.
However, by keeping gays out, you're keeping marriage laws discriminatory.
