Response to Arcanus - "Do Homosexuals have equal rights"

[tavarish]

Again, I've yet to hear why being a couple means you should be given anything, what makes married people special?

Did you not read my first paragraph?

"A marriage is a legally binding contract. It can have religious and social roots, but in the eyes of the law, that's all it boils down to. If you engage in such a contract, you are entitled to benefits. If you breach this contract, you can be fined/reprimanded. "

It's a contract - meaning that you gain some things, and you lose some things. You can have property tax benefits, but you lose the ability of having sex with another person for the rest of your life, as this would be a breach of contract in most cases. This is one example. It's not a lottery, it's a give and take situation.
