Should a father/adult daughter be cut from these rights by dint of their sexuality?
Civil marriage is the attempt to make sure babies aren't dumped on the rest of us, mothers aren't abandoned and fathers aren't cucked to indifference.
It really isn't about love or religion. Those things are nice but if love conquered all and all were perfect Christians, civil marriage (and family courts) would not be necessary.
Two responsible gays raising kids nobody else wants deserve the benefits (and obligations) of marriage.
Otherwise, I'd say it wasn't necessary -- and with regard to inheritance -- rather unfair. Should a father be allowed to "marry" his son to beat the tax man?
But to return to the first paragraph, here is some nuance: If dad was in his 70s & daughter was a 40-something single mom and the family unit was surviving on dad's SS & daughter's low-wage job & dad was a de facto dad to the grandkids, yes they should be allowed to get married with daughter inheriting the pension & SS & anything else tax free.
