Gay marriage
See article at OpinionJournal.com on "Save Marriage? It's Too Late: The Pill made same-sex nuptials inevitable:"
Sex, childbearing and marriage now have no necessary connection to one another, because the biological connection between sex and childbearing is controllable. The fundamental basis for marriage has thus been technologically obviated.
In my opinion, the Pill is only half the equation: The other is assisted fertility, which allows everyone with money, from Michael Jackson to lesbian couples, to become a parent, without the slightest commitment to being in a genuine relationship with a member of the opposite sex.
