What encourages people to wait until marriage to have sex? There are plenty of people who decide to wait to have sex with their partners until marriage and I just don't understand the reasons.

What is your stance on gay marriage and what are your reasons? The rules are you cannot comprise your reason with any religious logic. When I say marriage I am speaking of the cut and dry laws that would surround the subject. This means I also don't want answers that just say "Because its gross!". In addition I've also found many trying to give me the cut and dry no by stating that it would create tax loopholes. Reality: A man and a woman could create the same loopholes just as easily so none of that thank you very much. Procede in your answering. I am trying to look at this from a fair unbiased prospective and so far I can't come up with any reasons why gay marriage shouldn't be legal. If you can make a fair arguement otherwise, I welcome your answer. I'm not saying anyone's religion is wrong ,but it shouldn't play a part in the legalities of the situation. If Athiests are allowed marriage, why not gays? This is the arguement used for why marriage is a sacred bond between man and wife ,but marriage ,whether you like it or not, is a legal oath taken by two individualsa and by law is not influence by religion. This is my reasoning for trying to exclude religious viewpoints. I am being very unbiased. It is unbiased because too many people would like to passionify their answer to make a big deal about it. I'm simply stating to use raw logic without emotion. This means I'm asking you to also be unbiased. Its like saying "Chocolate is better than vanilla". This cannot be proven ,but anyone can have an opinion on the subject. Its just that; I don't want opinions. I want cold hard facts and logic. The difference between gay couples and sex predators is that they are acting willingly on both sides. Yes, there is gay rape and that is a crime ,but two people of consenting age going into that situation is nothing more than sex whether it be gay or straight. I bet many people think that morbidly obese people having sex is "gross" ,but I'm pretty sure there have been no rallies to keep them from marrying. Get it? There are many straight couples that are unable to reproduce. Just a tip, I'm not gay or anything like that. I'm just looking for a logical answer for the LAW side of this situation. Whether a couple marries or not they will probably still be together so lets speak in hypothetical terms. Say we're speaking in terms of calling gays birds and straights bees.(just sticking with the classic format here) I can fully understand not liking something ,but I'm about doing what is right without the "like factor" involved. For example: I don't like pickles ,but I'm not going stop anyone else from eating them.

What makes gay marriage different from straight marriage, fundamentally speaking? I was reading Pinker's discussions on government in "The Blank Slate", and I had an epiphany on the psychological motives for marriage. Let me know if you feel I'm wrong please, but it's the right to property and inheritance. The comfort in life with knowing that your stuff is protected even after death, that people can't kill you off just to take your stuff. That you've got someone to back you up in the case you stop living. I think there's a minor paradox with marriage with no kids because what happens when both partners die? But I think that has got be one of our instinctual needs: the need to inherit or own our property even after death. Do you think this is off base? Honestly, what's wrong with consensual bigamy? Would it lower the divorce rate?

How likely is a marriage to last if the girl is 18 and the guy is 23 when they get married?

What is the difference between sanctity of marriage and a civil union? Do gay couples want either/or? Does marriage give you the same rights as a civil union?

Please tell me the differences and what gay couples want?

Did pro gay marriage activists agree to have a vote on the issue? They obvioulsy did and never expected the outcome in California. Now that marriage is banned they are crying foul.

Marriage was never a civil right, and never will be.

Why do people make marriage so important and try to tough it out even when there is abuse involved? Why is it that people will stay in an abusive marriage?
