Marrying is a government assurance that your assets will be distributed to the person you signed the marriage contract with upon your death, nothing much more.

The government MUST accept it, it s the ONLY value of marriage: it is not an "act", it s a legal contract.

Ofc it s stupid not to make it happen, and it has been a long combat. Most of humanity doesnt allow it yet, and maybe from the comfort of where you type from, it's done and away, but here in China, it an exhausting fight.

What were you finding so strange in saying it was a long combat ? I see 100 years at least before it happens here.



Perhaps it's a misunderstanding of your statement? From my perspective, what I understand from what you're saying is that gay people have long fought against the idea of marriage, which I have not seen as being true.

If you're saying it's government and culture (and many religions) that are against gay people marrying, I agree with that.
