I love the idea of Civil Unions...for everyone. It would satisfy the thumpers and we gays don't give a shit what you call it. It's just the straights that think they should have "special rights" that want the gays to have civil unions while they get civil marriage.
(Oh look, back to the separate fountains analogy)
What part of my post below did Seabiscuit Conveniently Ignore?...
Nothing, its gay marriage that is wrong. D'uh.
Oh...whew...good thing there is no such thing as "gay marriage", there is only marriage. Just like there is no "gay driver's license" or "gay tax form".
While your religion might find that unions between people of the same sex are "wrong", the government has to actually prove the "wrongness". In other words, you must have a compelling state reason to deny marriage equality to gay and lesbian couples. Your religion has no such restrictions.
It isn't always about "wrong", Seabiscuit... It's about what's not Equal.
You as an Individual are Equal to other Individuals.
Man/Woman is NOT Equal to Man/Man or Woman/Woman... This is a Natural Fact and it is "Fundamental to our very Existence and Survival." as the Court put it.
There is NOTHING about Same Sex Coupling that is that thing.
You are Equipped and Designed by Nature to Couple with the Opposite Sex. Your Choice to Defy that should not be Society's Burden.
peace...
Oh yeah... The part about Nature's Design and how Man/Woman is NOT Equal to Man/Man or Woman/Woman... This is a Natural Fact and it is "Fundamental to our very Existence and Survival." as the Court put it.
