[Vision2020] Why I Support Gay Marriage

[Tom Hansen]

Joe Campbell stated:

"Are you suggesting that if one doesn't have and answer to this question,
then the state need not allow the marriage? Should this be the standard
for what the state allows and what it doesn't e.g. whether it is a benefit
to society?"

You may be on to something there, Joe.

Perhaps, at the time one potential spouse (or "pal") approaches the other
potential spouse (or "pal") with the intent of a marriage proposal, a
"Substantiation of Societal Benefits (Re: Marriage of Jones/Smith)" should
be submitted to the respective state licensing board.  This substantiation
should quantify exactly how much, and in what form, society will benefit
from the marriage of the two potential spouses (or "pals").  Failing this
requirement the marriage of the two potential spouses (or "pals") would be
considered null and void and said union of these potential spouses (or
"pals") would be considered a sin and, thusly, condemned for perpetuity.

Whatcha think?
