I have been going off script on this subject and state my support for same sex marriage. Maybe it is the career healthcare and educator in me, but I believe that two people should be able to express their feelings for each other, be recognized for it, and have the same governmental benefits that my wife and I enjoy. My wife of 27 years and I got married in the Lake County, Illinois court house one morning and then went to work. She would talk through the years about a church wedding and I would string her along and say we would, but I didn't want to go through the trouble and it would not make any difference. No ceremony or government piece of paper trumps 27 years of being together. And I think that is the bottom line. Being together. Civil union, marriage, whatever. I have a civil union when you get down to bare metal.
Leave marriage as defined as one man/one woman.
Have civil unions legal in all 50 states and have those unions afforded the same 'rights' (taxes, beneficiaries, wills, etc.) as marriage.
Heterosexuals and/or the religious keep the definition of marriage; homosexuals get what they really want which is the same benefits of 'marriage'.
Both sides win.
Shouldn't equality extend to 100% of the citizens?I'm married.
fucking lame liberal idea just to appease 2% of the population.

The state issues marriage licenses, the church sanctifies marriage. The only debate is what the state does as the church is inconsequential in this argument. No one is calling on the state to force churches to abandon dogma. But citizens should have the right to access the state process.
Taking the topic way out the original intent to imply perversion in a normal, human trait is sad. Are blue eyed people ABNORMAL because there are less of us?
