I think they want both, of course, but would settle for equal rights now and work on widespread acceptance later.Question: Is the crux of the issue that homosexuals want equal rights or do they want their unions accepted by society as a whole as being "normal and moral"? If anyone responds to this perhaps you could include your sexual orientation.

I'm extremely straight. Which means I find the thought of two men having sex together disgusting, but I understand that it's not my business what two consenting adults do.

I understand what you're saying. I also agree that it's not my business what anyone else does in the privacy of their own home. I just think that asking for anything more than legal equality is pretty unrealistic.
SSM is going to be settled by the courts. The legislatures won't touch this one; trust me.
Apparently you don't understand that this doesnt give them the power to pass a law regarding marriage as supposed by the post I responded to.Apparently you've never heard of Full Faith and Credit?Doesn't matter. The federal government has no power to pass any such law - this is wholly and fully within the purview of the states.This is not the first time President Obama has said something like this.
Its because states do not have to recognize priviliges/immunities granted by other states that the state itself does not grant. This is why CA doesnt have to recognize my OH CCW license.Let's say we have two couples that get married in Massachusetts, one couple is gay and the other straight. The straight couple's marriage is recognized in all 50 states, the gay couple's marriage only in a small handful. Why is this? Is it because of a state law or an unconstitutional Federal law?
Marriage, as a legal institution, is a privilge granted by the state - it exists ONLY because of the legislation that created it and it exists only for so long as said legislation remains in place. As such it is a -privilege- granted by the state because states do not - indeed, cannoit - grant rights.The Supreme Court of the United States of America disagrees with you (and in more than one instance too I might add). They have declared that marriage is a fundamental right. Why do you think that interracial marriage laws (that varied state to state) were struck down?
See above. My understanding certainly far exceeds yours, as your response will so very clearly illustrate.Don't ya'll have even a basic understanding of what you are arguing?
You may try to actually -refute- my argument at your lesuire.And speaking of interracial marriage, your "argument"...
Correct, THAT is determoned by the majority.Morality is in the eye of the beholder. Legality is not.
