Hydrotoxin:

You do realize that over population is a global disaster right now correct? So a group of people who don't add to the issue is great.

BTW: "take love and affection out of the equation"? It's marriage. That's why it was invented. The final bond between two individuals to live and love together forever.

And you have a rather bad point at your negative incentive point. Society frowned upon African-Americans and said they weren't real people so they could be their slaves. That doesn't mean it was morally or ethically correct.

As for your point about the reason we need laws: What the state regulates and what extremists and unethical people do are completely different. The state finds murder illegal, that doesn't mean people can't murder. Laws are suppose to govern over the ignorance of society. It's so even if some racist wants to burn an African-American, and his friends thinks its okay, the state stops it.

People don't always treat others with respect and equality. That doesn't make it right. And the state should get involved in that.
