ESIs who think marriage is gay, stupid, and should be abolished

[Averroes]

Society’s long moved past every other “wholesome”, patriarchal Christian social norm but even some of the most libertine coastal liberals still choose to cling to this one for some reason. Situationships and serial monogamy should be the accepted norm at this point

Not ESI, but SLE or LIE, can't tell.

Marriage in between a man and a woman, how is that gay. People forget that marriage isn't always about love, but rather a contract to ensure the safety of a woman and create a safer environment to raise children. It's literally just a contract. Women can be the bread winner, but when a man is about to attack her, she would still expect her husband to defend her unless she is some sort of body builder.

Gay marriage is just marriage, but modified to be people who have the same sex. In the end, it's still just a contract that exists for the sake of stability. Still gay marriage can have benefits, it promotes a environment stable enough for kids, gay couples can actually just adopt orphans as there are still a lot of gay people that want kids.

Marriage is still very needed as it still brings structure to society. Plus, Marriage isn't unique to Christianity.

Reasoning why marriage works:

-Women know who the father is off the bat, unless they cheated
-Father pays for the child, and is guaranteed custody of the child, alongside the mother, thus the kid gets the optimal condition for being raised.
-Less abortions would occur, meaning less trauma among women. Most abortions happen because the father isn't willing to take part in raising the child.

I can list much more reasons, but I got my point across.

Depends on your location. Some places are still very deep into it. The "Deep South" is quite extreme about it.
