As a licensed therapist who agrees to work with children (I love working with children), I can't even tell you how close I am to saying I won't do it anymore. Why? Because I am sick to DEATH of fighting, divorced parents. I spent 8 hours in court on Tuesday in a custody case, as an "expert witness" when I could have been in my office, doing therapy. We Christian/heterosexuals are not doing such a great job in the marriage arena.

I know you aren't actually answering what I was saying. My question was perhaps vague. Let me repeat: Why should my tax paying money go to maintain and facilitate marriage (e.g., under current circumstances, opposite sex marriage)?

I agree with you that Christian/heterosexuals have RUINED the institution of marriage, beginning with making it "civil marriage," then no-fault divorce, etc etc ad infinitum. After having destroyed marriage, no wonder they now (statistically) favor giving it gay people like me.

As I think I have mentioned in the past, there are two wonderful works of gay art that were actual movies on the subject of marriage that are very challenging and enriching: 1) Francois Ozon's 5X2 2) Patrik Ian Polk's Noah's Arc: Jumping the Broom. But since American gays (like most American consumers) tend to lack any intellectual or cultural curiosity (and most are also racist), these movies were ignored in favor of those promoted by the mainstream and "gay agenda" publications. Hype wins all. And the discourses hosted here about marriage, The Constitution and The Bible all sound like recycled talking points from cable news. *yawn*
