    I've always thought that marriage from a legal standpoint is about custody issues, property issues, tax issues, etc. Because otherwise, people are free to "marry" a duck or a pencil or whatever the hell they want. So the whole argument about traditions and morality seems pointless. Because the Bill of Rights does allow people to perform all these supposed immoral, sexually deviant acts as they wished right now.
