SUMMARY
In the midst of the current publicity about gay marriages, a contrarian viewpoint is presented. Marriage is seen as a legal construct of the state to further its aims of sexism and capitalism. Marriage has lost any connection it may have had to spiritual or emotional bonding. The notion of pair-bonding for life as natural is also disputed. From these perspectives, gays and lesbians and polyamorous types are encouraged to fight for the abolition of marriage, rather than for inclusion in the privileged group allowed by the state to marry.
