I hope God gives a shit about my daughters marriage to another woman. I don't think the state should give a shit. And unless there is some overwhelming compelling reason, I don't think people should even get married. And if they do, it should just be within their family or church or club or whatever, but never be legally binding. Private business owners should be allowed to refuse service for any reason. Even if they just don't like the color of your skin. That old brain dead Bible thumping 20% who are called cultural conservatives are dying off. Especially today when family members are coming out of the closet.

Is marriage outdated in Iceland?
"(CNN)"What would a society look like without marriage?"
The question popped into my brain after I stumbled across a list of countries with the most unwed mothers.
With 40% of its babies born out of wedlock, America sits near the middle of the global pack in this category. Conservative Turkey brings up the rear with a scant 3%.
And the nation at the top of the list? The world leader in single moms?
Iceland.
More than two-thirds of Icelandic babies -- 67% -- are born to parents who are not married.
This might be a shameful distinction in many spots around the world. In the land of the Vikings, it is a point of pride.
The island may have been settled by marauding brutes, but it is now the most feminist society on the planet, and with that one tantalizing fact, Sunday's episode of "The Wonder List" was born..."

This highlights a problem in the USA right now. We don't listen. We should. Agreeing and listening are two different things. But we should listen. There is a significant probability that we could learn something.
ok, but there is no doubt in my mind that the building block of a strong society is the traditional family. Your parents don't need to be legally married, but you need to know who your father is and he needs to be there.
