Good point -

[kyburg]

One of my old-timers, the_alchemist, makes a very valid point this morning:

On the one hand, I don't see any reason why heterosexual relationships should be given special legal privileges over homosexual ones, but on the other, I don't see why sexual relationships should be given special legal privileges over non-sexual ones.

A very valid point, indeed. As it's has been popular to mention when talking about same-sex marriage, it's not about the sex. So what's it all about?

Discuss.

Oh, and if that's not enough for you? theferrett is have a free-for-all over at his place over If you're dressed like that, can't I think you're hot? Of course, does one need to wear a burka if you're NOT on the meat market?

Oh. And this?



Ew.

NOT CHRISTIAN. Religious. *laughs* I work with too many other religions besides my own to make that kind of a statement.

But marriage is a religious function - civil status notwithstanding.

Gee, does this thing fire comment notification to everyone who adds to a thread, or just the originator?

Marriage as a term didn't begin with the Christians, all-y'all....
