Are there actually any people here AGAINST gay marriage?

17. In theory I'm against marriage, period.

I think it's an archaic religious institution that has no bearing on ones commitment to another, or others, even (not polyamorous but I am not against that, either, if we had an equal society that didn't stress polygamy as an alarming number in the world does).

That being said, I support full marriage equality for all adults because the society we are in gives marriages more rights, and in many cases excludes rights from individuals who, if they were heterosexual but not married, would have more rights.

Being ideologically opposed to marriage is not a practical position in our authoritarian society. If anything, it is a highly dismissive and privileged position to have, therefore I keep it to myself usually.

I'm sure I'm not the only one here who doesn't see any real value in marriage, but I think typically we don't push our ideology on others, but you asked the question, and I answered it.
