It's different, but it's not enough reason here

~So you would favour the same legal rights if we call it civil unions?~
Yes,
Tony, I just wanted to say that I appreciate your patience with my query.
As an aside, a response to my post re: the robots... "what's next. blow up dolls"
I disagree that the problem is "education" or "contraception." We've had sex-ed in our schools for decades and contraception is readily available in our schools, clinics and your nearest drug store.
I agree with the idea that parenting carries a lot of the blame, as well as the rampant liberalism that has permeated our society...but I also think that there is a big cultural component at work, especially in our black and hispanic communities.

Are American parents worse than here?

That would make sense if my country wasn't more liberal than yours - with a far lower abortion rate and lower teen pregnancy rate.

And what does this have to do with marriage.
Nah, it isn't marriage that produces children, its sex between fertile heterosexuals.
And unless you restrict marriage to two people who can mix DNA and produce children without assistance, denying marriage to some people who can't but not others who can't on the basis that marriage is only for those who can remains a specious argument.
