straightforward question:

what is the point of gays getting married anway?

1. no children possible

2. love is not a requirement for marriage anyway

3. all 'benefits' could be had with a lawyer anyway.

isn't it just a case of wanting to be the same only for the sake of it?

Straightforward answer. Probably for the same reasons straight couples want to get married.

Quote:

1. no children possible
According to the 2010 US census only about 50% of married couples were raising children.

Around a third of lesbian couples were raising children and almost a quarter of gay male couples were raising children

Only 23% of ALL households were married couples raising children,

Neither are children.

3. all 'benefits' could be had with a lawyer anyway.
No. They can't. There are approximately 1400 benefits that the United States government gives to couples in a heterosexual marriage. Lawyers can't do this.

Now contribute something worth while other than:

"LMAO! UM...uh...no!"

So are you saying you're unfit as a parent to raise your children to handle the issues that arise with life, homosexuality being one of them? I feel sorry for your kids - maybe Child Services needs to step in and move them to a better loving, more reliable household.

To see what?

Works that way everywhere else except for the radical left extremists back yards.
A responsible, reliable, and fit-to-be-head-of-household parent would raise their child with all the love and care in the world accepting them for who they are. They would also teach them how to tolerate and not be judgmental of others.

Though you're a shining example of parenting gone wrong and someone who's unfit to be a parent. I really think Child Services needs to get your kids away - you're unfit to raise them.

It's very simple.

Homosexuals and their supporters will never accept unions that are not identicle to heterosexual unions.

The reason homosexuals want same-sex marriage is to normalize homosexuality by redefining marriage to include their sexual relationships.

The acid test for my theory is to take sex out of the equation.

Define civil unions to also include non-sexual relationships.

Allow any concenting adult to enter into a civil union with any other concenting adult for whatever reason they like.

If their relationship is a sexual one, fine.

If it is not and the participants are simply doing it for the benefits, that is also fine.

Do that and see how long homosexuals remain interested in civil unions.
