Yes the gays want to use the term marriage to force church's to accept them and punish them for looking at their lifestyle as evil.
Why not push for civil unions that do the same thing? Why call it marriage?
Then again this goes to show that many that claim they want a separation of church and state only do so when it is convenient for them to use that talking point.
No, actually, we don't. We really don't care what it is called. Change the name, go ahead. Call it chicken noodle soup...just make it equal.
What you cannot do is have civil marriage for the straights and civil unions for the gheys. That's unconstitutional, but we would be perfectly fine with Civil Unions for all.
Get on it!
Then why aren't you pushing for Civil Unions and insist on calling it "Marriage"?
If they really didn't care then we would see a big push for Civil Unions instead of "Marriage", now wouldn't we?
I am all for removing "Marriage" form government and leaving it in religion and calling it civil unions on the legal/government side of things. It is a win for everyone, you would figure those that claim it is not about the term "Marriage" would be preaching such a message. The far left does not think things through when trying to tell you what "rights" you supposedly should be fighting for. Don't be a far left tool.
And yes this would allow you to money grab your partners Social Security as that is the only thing that the so called "Marriage" is supposed to give you. Other than it is still nothing but smoke and mirrors.
Because that's not our responsibility. We seek access to existing laws and protections. The licenses granted by the state are called marriage licenses. If you don't like us getting marriage licenses, it's up to YOU to change it, not us.
If you don't want "the gheys" getting marriage licenses then the onus is on YOU to change it.
By the way, it's not the gheys saying no to civil unions. I bet you can't find a single state where gays voted down civil unions, but I can find quite a few states that prohibit anything that even looks vaguely like a marriage, like civil unions or partner benefits.
