It is not discriminatory to provide legal protection in the form of a marriage contract and tax benefits to heterosexual couples who want to commit to a life together. it has been a huge benefit for women who economically have had built in and cultural disadvantages. This is compounded if and when they have children. It has been a huge benefit for children who benefit from the advantage of a 2 parent home.
