Singles of the World Unite

A column posted yesterday at The New Republic Online takes an interesting twist on the slippery slope arguments about gay marriage. The author claims that once gay marriage becomes entrenched the next group to demand marriage-like rights are single folks, of which the country has 100 million over the age of 16. While I'm not sure that's a completely valid guess, I do agree with one thing he says: the public benefits extended to gay couples will be paid for, by and large, by we singles. Which sucks.
