It simply makes marriage a contract between two consenting people, like it should've always been. Why should government be involved in marriage and decide who or who you cannot marry? Why should you require a government license to get married? You shouldn't. This bill doesn't discriminate and it simply replaces the function of marriage licenses with a marriage contract with identical legal standing. I'd like to see this happen worldwide.
With the end result that it is not a universally recognised contract ? Gone are your visitation rights when your partner is suddenly in a hospital abroad. Gone are your tax benefits. Gone is your inheritance because they did not make a will and that contract has no legal standing. Etc. Etc.
