Why do people say marriage doesn’t define love, but they believe in *** marriage?
sweetssssss asked:
If *** people have lived this long without being married and their happy why do they need marriage?

I don’t believe anybody needs marriage.
If you’re in love, you don’t need a ring to show it.
“Clown”
You’re just naming reasons and they all have to do with money!
I think *** people are more equal than minorities.

Its all about your view on marriage. Some people believe marriage brings them together spiritually.
Not only that but there are also “benefits” to getting married. Such are:
joint parenting;
-joint adoption;
-joint foster care, custody, and visitation (including non-biological parents);
-status as next-of-kin for hospital visits and medical decisions where one partner is too ill to be competent;
-joint insurance policies for home, auto and health;
-dissolution and divorce protections such as community property and child support;
-immigration and residency for partners from other countries;
bulletinheritance automatically in the absence of a will;
-joint leases with automatic renewal rights in the event one partner dies or leaves the house or apartment;
-inheritance of jointly-owned real and personal property through the right of survivorship (which avoids the time and expense and taxes in probate);
-benefits such as annuities, pension plans, Social Security, and Medicare;
-spousal exemptions to property tax increases upon the death of one partner who is a co-owner of the home;
-veterans’ discounts on medical care, education, and home loans; joint filing of tax returns;
-joint filing of customs claims when traveling;
-wrongful death benefits for a surviving partner and children;
-bereavement or sick leave to care for a partner or child;
-decision-making power with respect to whether a deceased partner will be cremated or not and where to bury him or her;
-crime victims’ recovery benefits;
-loss of consortium tort benefits;
domestic violence protection orders;
udicial protections and evidentiary immunity;
and more….

You don’t need a ring to show you’re in a love, but it would be nice to have the option if that’s what you and your partner wanted.
If we were happy with how things were, we wouldn’t be trying to have same-sex marriage made legal everywhere.

It’s about equal rights, not necessarily marriage itself; well, I guess it can be, but the LGBT wants equal rights which we deserve.
No, we don’t need marriage. But we have it, it’s traditional, and it’s probably staying for awhile. No, a ring does not prove love, but people marry for religious purposes as well. It is unnecessary, but it is like chocolate — God knows we don’t need it, but we’re going to Wal Mart and buying a king size chocolate bar anyway.

We’re only asking for a ring though,
is that really a big thing to ask?
We only want effing equality.

It’s not about needing marriage. It’s not about that at all. You don’t understand what it’s like to be a minority, obviously. How would you like to be told that you don’t have the same right to do something as your neighbor just because of how you were born? It’s about equality of rights.

Gay people have “lived this long without being married” because they had no other choice, dear. *** marriage has started to become a reality only over the past few years.
You are correct that no one NEEDS marriage if they’re in love. But the subject is about civil marriage, not religious marriage — in other words, it’s all about the legalities and privileges and responsibilities.
You’re also right that marriage doesn’t define love — but it DOES define rights, such as being able to visit a sick partner in the hospital, and property transfers when one partner dies. Without marriage, a couple needs to go through the considerable rigmarole of essentially drawing up a contract that specifies all that stuff — WITH marriage, the simple marriage license grants all of it.

Marriage doesn’t define love. Marriage has a lot of different meanings. Marriage is love, but it is also commitment, faithfulness, honesty, monogamy. Marriage allows couples to do certain things that unmarried couples cannot. Such as: filing joint taxes, adoption, medical benefits, living wills and last testaments. There is just a lot more to it.

While I agree with you saying “If you’re in love, you don’t need a ring to show it.” But not everyone thinks the way we do, and many people want that ring and certificate just to make things more real and recognized. That’s why I believe in *** marriage because if they want to get that legal bond just like everyone else then I don’t see why others views should stop that.
(however i also say i won’t get married until *** people can)

Because marriage provides legal protections. There is more to marriage then just a ring.

I think that you’re absolutely correct. your first answer said gays want marriage for symbolic and legal reasons. The symbolic just means that they need the good feelings that go along with marriage. The legal is a pure money issue.
No one needs marriage and many people do not get married but live as if they have gone through the ceremony.
I supported laws that benefited marriage because marriage is the institution that has and raises the nation’s children. So in that immensely important aspect, *** marriage, as an institution, isn’t equal and doesn’t deserve my tax dollars.
