    Gay marriage?

    The real solution here is to abolish marriage as a state sponsored privilege. It’s a religious ceremony that should have no place in government. It’s pretty gross how there’s so much pressure and so many benefits (eg. tax breaks) from participating in this ceremony. If people want to perform this ritual, it should be like a baptism without any state involvement. Nobody cares about gay baptism, but marriage is a hot button issue because it confers so much privilege. As a non-religious person, it’s super oppressive.
