When a state says that a contract between a man and a woman has more
standing or more importance, that is, that it is recognised as a special
kind of contract, when compared to a contract between a man and a man or a
man and two women (like i could afford THAT)... that state is expressing a
moral preference for one kind of contract compared to the other.
That is not a force, but is a preference. It can be a VERY strong preference
when one considers all the tax/benefit/custody, etc etc, ramifications...
I'm against states expressing a preference one way or the other.
