I would like to hear some logical reasons for gay marriage.
I personally don't care, I just want to hear the logic for it
I don't care cliché emotional reasons
LOGICAL reasons
The "logic" (i.e., legitimate government interest) behind marriage is the promotion and preservation of stable nuclear family units for CHILDREN. The principle benefits granted towards these objectives are joint tax returns and spousal social security benefits, both of which encourage/allow one parent to devote more time to child rearing.
The civil rights/equality argument for gay marriage is largely an invented excuse for individuals to access these monetary benefits without the bother of having to raise children.
Another fail, since procreation is not a prerequisite for marriage, as infertile opposite-sex couples are allowed to marry.
Neither tradition nor procreation are a legitimate, rational basis to deny same-sex couples access to marriage law.
