I've spent a lot of time on the conservative side (between the guns, being in the Military and working in/around the Defense Industry, and in general being a tradition oriented more-or-less libertarian) and many of them aren't any different.
"Gay Marriage will ruin the institution" "Uh. How many times have you been divorced?" "COMMUNIST!" (no, not literally, but YKWIM)
Heck, even the Implicit Association Test assumes that if you're "liberal" on Gun Control (whatever that means) you're also Liberal on Gay Marriage and Abortion. Anyone wanna make some assumptions on the Implicit Associations of the writers of that test?
It certainly ruins some aspects. How will the state know which partner to favor in the divorce proceedings if both are the same sex?
The shorter one.
Being 1.6m, I support this decision.
EDIT: Take that, veil of ignorance!
Why not the cuter one?
That works too. A more serious answer here.
Good answer. Does it work that way in practice? I wouldn't be able to predict whether the halo effect would overcome the sympathy influence and win out in effective total favoritism.
Beats me. I expect there's a lot of noise here; I was more making a nod towards the standard trope than actually proposing an answer. "The one with less earning power" is also an answer that comes to mind.
If I had to guess, I'd guess that in most jurisdictions where same-sex divorce is no longer so novel as to be singular, the tendency would be to approximate splitting assets down the middle. But I'm no more than .35 confident of that, and even that much depends on a very ad-hoc definition of "no longer so novel."
