this country needs more traditional families, not a bunch of selfish, godless people trying to inflict their lifestyle on their kids.
This post is so ignorant I dont even know where to start. I was raised by a single mother. Not because my dad died, but because he was a deadbeat and my mother divorced him. I dont think you are doing any of the single parents out there, who bust their butts to make ends meet, and raise their kids with good morals and character justice.

A person who does not want to be married is just as good of a parent as a person who is married. Please stop insulting these people.

You need to read what I wrote again. I said that gay men are attracted to the pheromones of men and straight men are attracted to the pheromones of women, lesbians are attracted to the pheromones of women and straight women are attracted to the pheromones of men. Unless you are gay why should you have the desire to sleep with a so called hairy butt man. It makes sense if you are turned off by the scent of a man, you are straight. Duh! I happen to be a gay man and am attracted to men, not women. Is it all clear now, or do you need further clarification on the subject of pheromones. By the way, it is not an analogy, it is from scientific studies.

I am straigh and am not attracteD to the scent of a women thats bologne im atracteD by apearences like many otheres i have never heard
damm that girl smell so good i wanna get with her
but I have heard
damm that girl is pretty i want to get with her
Get my drift

Back to my point why cant gays just be happy with something that has the same rigths as a marriage with a different name
First of all; pheromones are not a scent that you can just smell, it is a biological chemical aroma released by nearly all creatures and many plants. for example; The scent of a female dog in heat is carried a long distance to many male dogs, it is not a strong or obvious smell, it is an unconscious oder cue.

Second; If there was something that has the same rights as marriage out there, we would be happy with it. But there is not a substitute out there. Current civil unions and domestic partnerships are a joke, you only get a scant few rights that are little different than a business contract. If civil unions and domestic partnerships did convey all the same, exact, identical rights as a civil marriage, then they would be marriages whether you want us to call them that or not. Separate but equal is never equal, only equal is equal. One and the same, not this and that.

I believe in separation of gay and state. LOL
Then they should also be hetero neutral, separation of het and state. They should also not be allowed to be married either if they are straight or gay, we cannot start making separate rules and regulations for gay people over straight people. All a gay person would have to do is hide in the closet like they have for decades, living a lie. Every one deserves to live an honest life, happy and content. Not miserable and lonely.
