Freeing Marriage from Church and State

Freeing Marriage from Church and State por Mario Rizzo:

I do not believe that the state should busy itself about providing incentive or disincentives to individual contractual behavior that violates no one’s rights. If the institution of marriage has a good social purpose it is because it enhances the lives of the individuals involved ..

The Churches can bless whatever they like and condemn whatever they dislike. But individuals should be able to follow their own consciences and values in determining the nature of their relationships.

Who knows what the myriad of “experiments in living” will help us discover about society and ourselves?
