Here are some....trivial reasons.And yet still not ONE valid reason why homosexuals should not be able to marry. Not one. Shame on all of you.
1
It requires the re-definition of other terms such as "aunt", "uncle", "married couple", "married" and possibly others.
2
It provides a way for one to mislead others (should they have need to) by insinuating that they are not homosexual.
3
To the vast majority of straight married people, it denigrates the word "marriage" and makes them no better than "those abominable gays and lesbians".
I suspect the third is not trivial to many, especially in the bible belt. So be it. It is still a reason for many people objecting.
You'll not find any objection to matching benefits for gay/lesbian couples from me. I think they should have all and equal rights regarding wills, conjugal visits at detention centers and hospitals, insurance, tax breaks and whatever else applies to man/woman couples (whether they were legally married by way of ceremony or common law). Just pick a different word to describe the relationship.
If you say it's the benefits you want, then what could possibly be wrong with making up a name for the union and going on about your business?
So far, I have not seen a single legitimate reason to claim a NEED to be called "married".
Spit it out!
I asked for valid reasons. Not trivial. Thanks for trying though.
