Bravo and well said.
I'm one of those 'older' (ok, I'm 44 and a woman, I can maybe have kids still) adults that choose, yes choose, not to have children. I'm noticing nothing lacking in my life. No meaning is lost.
I see no merit in marriage either. But then I'm in a long-term heterosexual relationship and quite happy. Maybe I'd feel differently if my partner wanted to marry, but I doubt it.
I would like to get the breaks a married couple with kids gets. And frankly, if the laws remain as restrictive as they do, once my partner and I get older we might be forced to get married. Our relationship is as deep and important as a marriage. We want the right to decide medical/health and financial issues for each other if need be. But that's denied us by current law, just as it's denied to homosexuals. How unfair is that?
