text: I'm all for gay marriage. But it isn't a human right. It's a civil right (very different). It's a contract with the government and the people who sign it, nothing else. It's supid because it gives you many restrictions, responsibilities and potential legal issues. Really not worth it. Many of the benefits from marriage can be tricked somehow. The thing is that many other contracts with the government depend on that one. I really think that the governments really don't care much about gay marriage but the task of restructuring social contracts and procedures. I understand that the movement is symbolic. But as a heterosexual guy, marriage doesn't interest me much.
