"State" means both the State of (say, NY) and "government". Marriage is a creature of statute and, according to Marriage Equity for All, confers 1,324 property rights with it. And if someone can be "married" in a church, then the Church but only have a civil union elsewhere... then religion is usurping a secular right.
For the record, I don't care to say I was "civil unioned"....I was married. And gays should have the same right to say that as I do.
All you're proving to me is that you're seeing what you want to see instead of what I've written.
I know what "state" means. I'm also pretty sure couples were joining together when the "state" consisted of getting the tribal chief or holy man's blessing for the union. This would predate statutes by a good deal of time. But regardless that's a stupid argument to be having.
I haven't addressed how things are now, I've given my idea for a solution. If you want to argue why my idea is flawed by all means tear it up, but so far you're holding up examples that aren't mine so I'm not going to bother to engage.
And for the record I don't care what you care to say. Say whatever you want. You can have a tea party with imaginary friends and call it dining with the Queen for all I care. If you want to tell me why what I have proposed isn't equitable to someone/group then I would care to hear that.
and frankly, i don't care that someone who really isn't very knowledgeable doesn't want to listen and learn.
so it's cool.
Cop out. Big surprise. You can't make your point, so you tell her she's stupid.
Pure class, per usual.
