Here's a decent, quick answer on the origin and purpose of marriage:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/in...1002439AAAxdTz

This issue is extremely low on my list. I understand it's very high on others, both sides of the argument.

I could agree on people marrying pigs if you talked to me about it long enough

Sounds like women definitely got the short end of the stick in the history of marriage.

In the brief googling and wiki answers search I've done in the last 20 minutes, it seems marriage never had any sanctity

One might htink feminists and women in general would be trying to tear down this oppressive marriage thing. But, women have children as a result of their men, and a marriage "contract" helps ensure some stability for the current and future generations

I guess that's why I was not pro gay marriage. I feel marriage is about children. I'm fine with gay couples having kids(whether adopted, in vitro fertilization,cloned,whatever) and feel gay couples with kids absolutely should have a legal contract. You want to call that marriage, fine with me
