13. So, everything about marriage can be achieved by contract anyway?
That would be everything except married Tax Deduction status, right?

So what we're fighting over is what something is called? For example, if a church wants to Marry GLBTs, they won't be allowed to? But if those same persons engage in appropriate contracts they CAN be "married" in every way, except name only?

Don't Singles have a tax disadvantage? Does denying the married tax advantage to some people amount to discrimination?

I know, tooooooo many questions; I have not even begun to understand this issue yet. Answer any, none, or all, as you see fit of course.

:hi:
