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.
So women who are in a heterosexual relationship are naturally disadvantaged because of built-in cultural conditions, as well as by their ability to have children. Got it. Yet it seems you believe that lesbian women do not face the same cultural disadvantages that heterosexual women have, is that correct? And here I thought gay people had cultural disadvantages. Glad you cleared that up.
