A Libertarian View of Gay Marriage

Now, in the late fifties, a debate began over whether to extend benefits to the unmarried. It was unfair to stigmatise unwed mothers. Why shouldn’t they be able to avail themselves of the benefits available to other citizens? The brutal societal prejudice against illegitimacy was old fashioned, bigoted, irrational.

... But the truth is that nobody has any business to destroy a social institution until he has really seen it as an historical institution.
