I don't know if you'd call it a guest editorial or a reprinted editorial but the St. Cloud Times opinion editor has a point.
Why, oh why, do we want to impose our religious values on others? Marriage may or may not be a sacrament in various religious faiths, but it's a legal contract. A contract that says two consenting adults are responsible for one another. A contract that say that when one dies, the other gets to determine lots of issues related to the remains and gets to inherit both property and obligations. A contract that says one can visit the other in hospital. Or share COBRA benefits or Social Security benefits or Medicare benefits.
Why do some insist on their right to keep that right from others? Why do some believe they can impose their will, their beliefs, on me?
