Do you think that a state shouldn't give spouses special immigration rights? What about spousal rights when it comes to making medical decisions for an incapacitated partner?
Regarding medical decisions, I agree with Sarunas: one should have the ability to assign this right to anyone.
Regarding immigration rights, it seems reasonable to take romantic relationships and even more so common children into consideration when granting such rights. I'm not sure we gain anything here by having a legal status called "marriage".
