The more I see of Savage, the more impressed I am. Articulate, clear, and with a completely uncommon degree of common sense...he's interesting enough to make me wish I was gay (much like Melissa Etheridge makes me wish I was lesbian).

Just out of curiosity: Why the femme tag?

because of the historical meaning of marriage, which is basically to buy and sell women.
the centuries of marriage = female submission.
and the VERY recent paradigm shift.
its a *femme issue.

Marriage is an outdated institution, which only exists as a remnant of the dark ages, where women where slaves. It should just be dismantled altogether.

There are good things tied to marriage -- Visitation rights and certain tax credits, for instance. One can make a decent case for placing those things in the realm of civil unions, but the word and concept of "marriage" is pretty powerful. There was an interesting piece done for On The Media about marriage specifically covering some of the concept's history and the battles fought over it. Interested parties can find the transcript here:
