Can Marriage Be Divided into Secular and Religious Institutions?

Once again, I do not think that the state needs to give tax breaks, lowered tuition costs, and other benefits that are granted to heterosexual marriages because same sex relationships, in principle, need not be encouraged to have children.

However, I think that it is appropriate for there to be a legal category for those who have declared each other to be their new family which is separate from their biological family. Family plans with regards to insurance seems appropriate for these relationships.

If adoption agencies decide that the couple is financially stable and would provide an emotionally/physically/psychologically safe environment for the couple to raise a child, I think that the state ought to provide the same kind of tax breaks for the couple which is raising a child in the best way they can.
