OK, Ake, I'll bite.

I notice no comment to my link concerning the low takeup rates for homosexual marriage.

First, so what? Even if only one couple (or none for that matter) took the plunge allowing it is the right thing to do. As it happens I personally know more than one couple who has taken advantage of the option to marry. I am very happy for them.

even among those rates many "marriages" have been constructed to facilitate immigration of foreign nationals.

Not good but hetero couples have been doing this for years and you know it. Again, I have been personally aquainted with some of them. I don't like the idea but there it is.

I don't intend to get into with you Ake as I know there is nothing I can say that will change your mind. Just didn't want you to feel left out.
