LIBERTARIANS, STATE INTEREST IN MARRIAGE, AND SSM: Various

[Interesting blogospherical debate, sort of based on stuff I've said on this site about the greater difficulty of making a case for state regulation of marriage of same-sex vs. opposite-sex couples. You might want to start here and scroll up for discussion; a quote from me: "Maybe it's just my lurking libertarian tendencies, but I find it almost eerie to have the government tell me how to run my relationships. When it comes to heterosexual sex I definitely see the need for government and society to promote one ideal structure, because the third party benefits of marriage and harms of unmarriage are so great. These third party concerns are mostly but not entirely to do with children."

[Anyway, here are two more entrants in the debate. --Eve]

Diana Feygin argues that libertarians should support the FMA.

Fabio Periera replies.
