That's because it's not a marriage.

So in case you missed it, I'll post it again, care to address these issues, or is it too awkward.

There are a great many 'four letter words' that are not allowed on these forums, but one that some find very offensive and would probably wish to have censored, even banned. Oh you wonder what the word is?

FACT
For many of them, you can have a lawyer write up a contract. For the rest of them, I honestly don't care. It's not a marriage.

Thankfully the courts and a large % of the population disagree with you.

Marriage to the person you love has NEVER been a guaranteed right.

Do you support the marriage of a man to his mother? Or 2 sisters?

Then let the people vote. In most cases when the people vote, marriage wins. For the most part, the only time same-gender "marriage" gets pushed through it's because of a power-grabbing court system.

So you admit that you don't care about the constitution, because the constitution guarantees equal protection of the laws.

At least according to some judges. Where the people have actually voted, they don't agree.
