Do most same-sex couples even want to assume the responsibilities of marriage?

There is considerable reason to doubt that they do. A front-page article in the New York Times (August 31, 2003) reported that in the first 2 = months after Ontario's highest court legalized "marriage" for same-sex couples, fewer than 500 same-sex Canadian couples had taken out marriage licenses in Toronto, even though the city has over 6,000 such couples registered as permanent partners.


I called the New York Times article, is all. Link taken from [livejournal.com profile] daegaer, who rightly pointed out the more disgusting things about the article.

Content aside, the use of circular logic, unjustified or un-cited 'facts,' and taking out of context of what they do cite is worrying. And scare tactics...

Somebody tell me this is just a peripheral organization with a nice web site, and nobody really takes them seriously anyway. It'll make me feel slightly better about the state of American media. (Not by much, but still.)
