Start a gay church and marry people.
Protected under the bill of rights and protection of religion.
Other then that I'm all for the government getting rid of all marriage benefits to begin with its unfair to single people who have to pay more in taxes, get no insurance and or other benefits.
You might want to consider that normal heterosexual marriages that produce children who end up paying for your SS in your old age.
This remains a huge issue despite having legal documents to support your relationship. A very dear friend of mine died recently, and despite the fact that she and her partner were together for 36 years, and had all the pertinent documents, medical decisions were continually deferred to her brother who lives across the country, and who she saw once a year. It was awkward and outright wrong. It's not the hospitals fault, they are just trying to avoid a law suit as this situation and the documentation has become so complicated. There's only one solution, and it's WAAAAY overdue. The irony is that my husband and I don't even share the same last name, and nobody has ever asked to see proof that we are married in these situations, and yet someone who has gone to extreme lengths legally to ensure their relationship is recognized does not get that same consideration. It really is appalling.
Oh what a sad story Do you mean this ever-loving couple did not think to do a Power of Attorney for each other
Gays have all kinds of avenues to protect their interest. What they want is to destroy traditional marriage. That is the game.
As for your video, anyone can make up any story they want. Show me lawsuits or the ACLU coming in on a story like that. Gays love to sue for the media attention. I don't buy any of it.
One would have to be irrationally anti-gay in order to buy into that theory.
That person is being irrational. I keep asking him/her to address my point of what are gay people like me suppose to do, marry someone I don't have feelings for emotionally, since in his narrow minded neocon world, gays shouldn't marry, but yet I get no response.

That's pretty much the size of it. Since you techically can "marry" someone, albeit someone of the opposite gender, people consider gay marriage "special rights".
Despite the fact that heteros would have the right to marry gays just as much as gays would.
It's a bad thought process, but that's the size of it.

Don't worry, he/she/it hasn't sufficiently (logically) answered any of our questions.
I can't help being too short to be a player in the NBA but I demand to be seen as an NBA caliber prospect!
Let's perform an experiment: place 100 hetero couples and 100 gay couples each on separate islands with no connection to the outside world. In 100 years let's pay each island a visit and see which population increased. There has never been a society ordered on the idea of homosexual marriage. The reason being marriage is first and foremost for procreation. Without extraordinary external measures gays cannot reproduce. Or in the buzzword so popular today: gay marriages are unsustainable. Civil unions are fine with me by the way. And I don't buy the separate but equal analogy because there is no equivalence between a married couple and a hetero couple united under a civil union. They are apples and oranges. As far as society is concerned hetero sexual marriage is infinitely more significant a state and worthy of higher status. But if in a 100 years the island with the gay couples has exceeded the hetero island in population growth I'd be open to revisiting the issue.
I guess then we should outlaw anyone marrying who cannot have children. People can have kids without marriage you know. And on this island, there is nothing to say that a turkey baster was brought so that fertile women could have babies of gay men. After all, we are usually better looking and judging from the homophobes responses on this site more intelligent and rational!

Yea, like all of those felons from "normal" (whatever that means) heterosexual marriages.
