It must suck for you to be on the wrong side of history.
lol oh. As if that is supposed to mean something. How awful it is for us to have our own views and beliefs...
Because a minority of people who already have equal rights as man, want to bastardize marriage instead of pushing for unions, everyone who opposes just needs to shut it right? Why are you, the minority, the ones who now get to say what marriage is and what restrictions there are? YOU want it changed yet you also want to now be the one who says a different type of marriage would be absurd? What is absurd is redefining marriage in the first place. What's absurd is pretending a man and woman is some how the same as a man and a man.

Um, we don't have equal rights. And we are pushing for legal unions - it just so happens that in our civil, secular law we call unions "marriages." Why should I be punished and denied equal rights because of other's homophobia and sensitivity about a word?

You are not losing out on any rights. You are losing out on benefits. That needs to be taken up with the government, to allow civil unions the same benefits. There is no right issue
Hate to break it to you. It doesn't have to do with "rights".
It has to do with getting government benefits.
And again, how am I on the wrong side of history?
And the constitution says that ALL citizens have the right to equal protection of the laws. Also that no state can abridge the rights, or privileges of an American citizen.
Either way. If you say marriage is a right, as the USSC has said many times, then the government can not deny me access without compelling state interest. If marriage is a privilege, then the same.
