Proposition 8 declared unconstitutional

This just doesn't make sense. Marriage is a civil institution singling out the monogamous relationship between 1 man and 1 woman as special. We, as a society, have agreed on this. If we are no longer able to agree that this type of relationship should be singled out, then we should no longer single out types of relationships. The sensible reaction to these pressures is not to single out another type of relationship which most people don't believe is special, but rather to stop doing it at all. This is a false choice.

Long story short, if we can't all agree on what type of a relationship is special, what are we doing with this thing?

Congratulations, anyone can now marry anyone else, for any reason. We should just do away with the special recognition and allow any one person to leave their social security benefits with any other person and be done with it. From this point forward, I only recognize marriages recognized by the Roman Catholic Church; the term "civil marriage" means nothing other than any 2 people leaving their state and Federal benefits to one another for an undetermined period of time, nothing else.
