gridlore: Doug looking off camera with a grin (Penguin - Carpe)

One of the anti-gay marriage people I deal with has devolved (as usual) into screaming, quite imaginative descriptions of what I do with other men (Ha.) and then, oddly enough, it a long screed about Linux users. Took me a minute to figure that one out.

My email is, of course, penguin_boy.

Given that no-fault divorce has already worked to decouple somewhat the institution of marriage from the responsibility of childrearing, how will gay marriage, with its root premise that marriage is primarily an institution for the convenience of adults, affect society a generation or two down the line?

We already go by that premise, and have for many years. Old people can get married despite there being no possibility of children from the union. Men who've had a vasectomy or, say, an injury that's made them infertile can get married. Adults get married with no intention whatsoever of having children, ever, and there are no sanctions against that.

This cat is way out of the bag already.
