What's Wrong With Gay Marriage?
If we change the definition of marriage, why restrict it to two persons—or even to humans? If marriage is just socially constructed, then why should any marital arrangement be preferred over any other, and why should gays get preferential treatment over others? Hadley Arkes recounts an unusual “marriage arrangement” he had heard of: “Not too long ago, some friends in Denver brought the news of a man who showed up at the county office seeking a marriage license for himself and his horse. And the clerk found herself in the situation of one who applies the law but no longer remembers the reasons. I take some pride in reporting to you that, when the story was told to me, I did guess the reason that the clerk finally gave for refusing to issue the license: the horse was not yet 18.”
