re: How are people supposed to explain gay marriage to their kids?

All this marriage is by law is a financial agreement

Bingo. And in a way I think it could eventuallymake us scrutinize and evaluate marriage as a whole. Or at least the dissolution thereof

One thing about gay marriage, its unquestionably two equal parties going in and in divorce two equals parting ways. Not this antiquated thinking where a "head of household" is penalized for the failure of the marriage and/or custodianship of children is granted to one side by default. If true equality is what we all want across the board then surely some of the lopsided terms of divorce as we know it will evolve too right. No more of this "keeping him/her in a lifestyle they're accustomed to" shite huh?
