Here's an article about the results of approving gay partnerships in Sweden. (Hat Tip: Dr. Sanity)
If this doesn't scare you, then you scare me!

It's an interesting article, and a strong argument for never moving to Sweden, but it leaves me wondering something. When they talk about abolishing 'marriage', what do they mean by that? What's a marriage that makes it different from these partnerships they're talking about?
Well, for one thing, marriage is a committment, whereas the partnerships I think they're talking about are dissolvable at will and with less fuss than a divorce.
Marriage also has a traditional connection with religion and morality, something a lot of these people would prefer to do without. They don't want to feel guilty for not abiding by the standard moral laws imposed by churches.
They don't want to have to feel committed to the relationship, nor do they want to stay faithful while in one. Marriage, even today, tends to attach a stigma to those who jump out at the slightest provocation, or take partners outside of the marriage.
With these new partnerships they propose they can shack up with anyone (or any number or combinations of anyones), enjoy all the legal, economic, and social benefits of a marriage without any guilt or responsibility.
A marriage is an admission of moral responsibility. Dude, that's such a downer.
