So, what's your answer? Should I take that to mean that any consensual 2 person relationship should gain tax and SS benefits?

So anybody can get married to anyone else? Where do you limit it? Why do we recognize it in the first place?

Is this really a question?We limit it as a union between two or more people. You can bring out the ignorant beastiality argument but the fact is that only humans comprehend and understand unions as we talk about it, so it only applies to humans.We recognize it in the first place because we put social pride and emphasis on love, friendship, and community, things that make america stronger.

So any 2 consenting humans can get married for any reason?

Re: Proposition 8 declared unconstitutional
This is already the case for male/female relationships.
Re: Proposition 8 declared unconstitutional
That's fine, I just want to get an idea of what we are advocating. So, at the end of this, what is the civil institution of marriage? I don't mean "this" as in the gay marriage debate, I mean "this" as in the years of liberalizing the divorce laws, liberalizing the infidelity taboo, gay marriage, etc. Why are we recognizing it at all, as a society - what are we recognizing?
Why is marriage a recognized thing in the first place?
