Why Should Society Allow Same-Sex Couples to Marry?
• If society cares about all its children, gay and lesbian couples should be allowed to protect them in a way that ONLY civil marriage allows. • September 11th proved that the inability to enter into a civil marriage could cause greater grief in a time of tragedy. More than one year later, grieving partners are still battling for property and insurance claims just because they could not marry. • The marriage of two adults of the same sex who seek to make a lifetime commitment to one another takes nothing away from the marriages of anyone else. • Legal marriage strengthens commitment—commitment is what makes a marriage • Supported couples make better contributions to society.
