I don't think any gay people are asking that your marriage not be recognized, bbkaren.

I support both. Marriage, however, is still defined as the union between a man and woman, and implies natural procreation.We have friends both straight and gay. I don't disapprove of either's lifestyles, and I don't think the majority of gays choose their sexual orientation. Its simply in the genetic code. Who would choose a lifetime of scorn and ridicule? I'm sure some damned revisionist will try to redefine marriage sometime, anyway. Someone like Howard Zinn.

Ok, then since you don't want to call it marriage, you don't have to. But why should your opinion dictate the legal status of others?

It doesn't. That's why I suggest we let the people decide and abide by that.

She needs something to make her feel superior to others. Marriage is the obvious choice of the moment.

Chris Rock said it for me years ago, the last time it was an issue.
