If there is gay marriage, there will also be gay divorce. If 50% of heterosexual marriages end in divorce, will homosexuals do any better? I don't think so, since many heterosexuals work harder to hold their marriage together for the sake of their biological children.
If there is gay divorce, there will also be issues of alimony, child support, visitation, division of property. Since medical science as yet has not enabled two people of the same gender to have a biological child, there will often be 3 parents fighting over a child.
If the motivation is financial benefits that come with gay marriage, there will eventually be single people who want to form partnerships just for that reason, when sex is not even involved.
This is going to put a tremendous strain on our court system and it will not be cheap. Laws will have to be rewritten.
Some lawyers are already pushing for polygamy to be legal, yes, even in Canada.
Eventually, marriage will become a moot point. It will, in the end, be of no benefit to anyone.
Let's leave religion out of it.
