- Marriage is wrong
I think that depends on the marriage. But I agree to the extent that marriage isn't for everyone.

Not just 'not for everyone' but fundamentally wrong as a concept: everyone should be free to express their commitment to their partner in whatever fashion they so choose without a legal requirement for permission or ratification from a public body (be that governmental or religious). Personally, I take it as a direct insult that my commitment to my partner is not considered sufficient, appropriate or trust-worthy unless ratified by the government or the state religion.

I sort of agree here, except it only seems to make sense if marriage was mandatory, rather than optional. Plenty of couples I know are unmarried having been together for years, and they are certainly regarded as just as committed etc as any married couple.

Some couples just like to do something further for whatever reason. You even said 'everyone should be free to express their commitment to their partner in whatever fashion they so choose' - well some people may choose to have a ceremony and have their state recognise their relationship in some official capacity.

I certainly agree that married couples should not have any greater rights than unmarried, but that's about as far as I can go.
