- Ok, so.....it''''s all about the wording. So you would like legislature to create an entire new classification for the union of two people, based on their gender.

NO, you would like that. I never said I would like that. - Reply to this comment
- You are correct, there are benefits that married people can get that cannot be had any other way, they all come down to money. Social Security survivor benefits and such. If that is the reason to get married then change that issue, not marriage.
Again, they all come down to money.

Ok, so.....it''s all about the wording. So you would like legislature to create an entire new classification for the union of two people, based on their gender. Lets see, it would have all the same legal and tax benefits as marriage, all the same connotations of marriage...but we have to call it something else. That''s like saying, Ok, black kids can go to school, get the same education and all as white kids, but they cannot go to the same school as the white kids. - Reply to this comment

No...I will not marry a woman. That is like me telling YOU to marry a MAN. If that is not who you are then it just does not work out! As far as your BS that oh I CAN get married. Get a life!
I HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED TO TAKE AWAY ANY OF YOUR RIGHTS SO STAY OUT OF MINE!
Imagine if you will you met you wife and for some reason your familly absolutely hated her and would disown you if you married her? Would you have continued the relationship? If not, why? If so, why? Either way you would understand that no one else has a right to dictate your feelings to you. So just keep that in mind when you make an ignorant comment like that!
Like I said before I am not the one trying to withhold fundemenatl rights away from someone else. YOU ARE and people like you and YOU are the ones that have hurt and continue to rip away at the "fabric" of our society.
You are living in a past that will eventually be so archaic that this conversation would be irrelevant.
Just allow people the same rights you have and then we can have a conversation from a level in which one of us can come down off his soapbox and look the other one in the eye! - Reply to this comment
- As far as some comments about "shoving" this down other people''''s throat. Have you ever stopped to think that they have had enough of it put back on them? They can not go one minute without feeling the differences that society pushed on them so maybe, just maybe, it is time for you to feel some of the issues/pressure and start making a difference instead of sticking your thumb up your butt and crying it hurts.
Ultimately, our day will end and new futures will emerge from this world, good and bad. I would like to think that the issues that we as humans cause each other can be overcome before the next generation must endure this BS.

Just because one does not deal with the same prejudice as someone else does not mean it is a less stressful burden. We all have our load to bear, some it may seem have more than others, but who is to judge that?
I do not believe ggays choose to be ggay, I doubt anyone wishes that upon themselves.
But do not shove your lifestyle down my throat, or expect to get thrown up on.. - Reply to this comment
- I''''''''ve been married for 27 years, and no one else''''''''s marriage is going to affect the worth of mine.
Sanctity? Sheesh. What a bizarre argument.

Just because you do not get other people''s belifs does not mean it is wrong, it just means you are not on the right plane, frame of mind, understanding, enlightenment, or whatever you want to call it- so you can comprehend reality. - Reply to this comment
- plus in my state, you cant even have a domestic partnership. I was hoping that if it was passed in california, then something would trickle over here.

Domestic partnerships have been in CA for a long time, if they ahve not trickled to your state then why go for same sexx marriage? - Reply to this comment
- I never said you had to marry a man. I said I never told you you cannot marry, you can. It just has to be a member of the opposite sexx. I have no idea what sexx you are so you have to decide that.
Leave marriage one man and one woman.
I also advised you come up with your own union that is not marriage, call it what you like. Then it can be the ggay marriage and all will be well.
If you are proud to be ggay then do not try and be straight by getting into a straight union- marriage. - Reply to this comment
- ps. i''''m never going to marry a man, cause i''''m in love with my girlfriend...so please don''''t throw a comment at me like, you can marry, just marry a man...it''''s not who i am and it''''s not a clever answer on your part...take care

I am married, and I''''m straight, there are benefits that I get legally from being married that gay people do not get with a ''''domestic partnership''''. (Ok, I know I''''m gonna take a knock on this one, but cut me some slack, I have a new born, I''''m exhausted) I can''''t remember the specific benefits, but I''''m pretty sure it has to do with taxes and what not.
