fwiw, don't expect me to stand up for gay marriage much, either, because i actually oppose the institution of marriage altogether.

i mean, i guess if we're going to have marriage at all, it shouldn't discriminate based on gender. but if this is your issue, i'm not your ally - you'll never get much more from me than a set of weak statements.

if you want to talk about abolishing marriage as an outdated tool of patriarchal control, i'd be more likely to rally around your cause.
