Same-sex marriage benefits society<p>To understand why consider the extraordinary benefits to society and to the married couple. Marriage is not just a contract between two people; it is a contract that the couple makes with their community, which is why there is always a witness. This is a bountifully fruitful bargain for society. The partners agree to take care of each other so the community doesn't have to. In exchange they are deemed a family, binding them to each other and to the society with a myriad of legal and social ties. Marriage makes people on average, healthier, happier and wealthier. For a couple raising kids, marrying is likelier to make them healthier, happier, and wealthier, too. Marriage is our best line of defense against financial, medical and emotional meltdown. It stabilizes communities by formalizing rsponsibilities and creating kin networks (aunts, grandparents, cousins.) Its absence can be calamitous, whether in inner cities or in gay ghettos. </p>

It would amend the Arizona Constitution to deny the option of marriage to same-sex couples. Not only did we vote "no" two years ago, but state law also already defines marriage as between one man and one woman.</p> <p>In fact, the Legislature voted "no" on this bill twice this year before it finally passed. So why is it on the ballot yet again? </p>
