Good points. I wish Walsh had just called these other "marriages" best friendships or partnerships, because that's all they are. The legal benefits muddy the waters because people just want the tax breaks by being legally married. Should have always been a civil union to decouple it from marriage. In fact those benefits shouldn't be given to anyone except a man and woman married who are having kids, because that's the whole fucking point (or should be) of giving benefits to married couples: it is essential for the country's future. This is like in Poland(?) where they upped the benefits for families having multiple kids.
