External support for what, exactly?
[QUOTE=Salami;1160659 As Unknown Soldier has very kindly pointed out, why is "propagating the population" so damn important? There's definitely no sign of decline, world overcrowding is becoming a very serious problem with food and natural resources being stretched over an increasingly large number.[/QUOTE]
If that's what you believe, why would you argue for an
extension of marriage benefits to more people in society? Why not just get rid of them entirelly?
The rest of your post doesn't deal with what I said, the quotes I pulled from the article, or the general point of my post.

Correct; so, why should the rest of society subsidize their marriages?
