The Angry Economist:

The government needs to get out of the marrying business. Marriage should be a religious arrangement. Continuous lengthy cohabitation should, absent a contract to the contrary, be a default contract laying out certain rights as would a common-law marriage. Apart from that, the government should have nothing to say.

The controversy over gay marriage should be a lesson to everyone who wants the government to do more in society. Every disagreement becomes a reason for political unrest.

The more government interference in civil society, the less civilized and the less peaceful the society.

    los gay solamente quieren los beneficios del welfare asociados al matrimonio civil:
    pensiones, obra social, licencias, etc.
