At Pajamas Media, Jamie VanEaton defends same-sex “marriage” as a promotion of America’s culture of monogamy:
Our culture is one which disdains promiscuity and promotes monogamy, even when it’s serial monogamy. At the same time, these same people who berate promiscuity don’t allow for the rewards of monogamy for the gay folks, creating the self-fulfilling prophecy of unsafe sexual trysts rather than proud weddings and long-term relationships. This is due, in large part, to the common notion that marriage is both for religious reasons and for procreation. (…)
Marriage is a legal contractual commitment binding between a man and a woman to promote monogamy (and get the estate when the other one meets with a fatal ice cream truck incident). Allowing coverage under spousal insurance policies and puts everyone on an equal level of matrimonial misery tax wise, the focus should not specify sex (and how much sex is there really after the honeymoon?) — but a life partnership commitment between two consenting adults.
