I have. And I have asked the question from gay marriage supporters, because they always say it's all about benefits. I asked them it they would let go off gay marriage if they were given the same benegits without marriage, but they are not happy with that, which means the whole benefits argument is nothing but a smoke screen.

Lots of the "oldest books" claimed minorities were genetically inferior and the sun revolved around the Earth, too, and all kinds of notions that have been discarded by an advancing civilization. Come into the 21st Century, All American. It's not as scary as you think.

Yeah. Just like when black people demanded to be able to drink from the same water fountains and go to the same schools as everyone else.

I mean, they were offered and had EQUAL accomodations under the law, right? Separate and equal. Should have been happy with that.

It's not like blacks and gays are full citizens entitled to everything else citizens are entitled to, right?

Well maybe if gays were allowed to get married universally this wouldn't be an issue. Since you're one of those who are against gay marriage, I blame you.

I'm sure you'll be saying that about the Supreme Court when they nullify the DOMA in June. Then gay couples will receive ALL benefits that heterosexual couples receive, not just some of the benefits as is the case now. Oh woe will be you. Must suck to be so bitter.

Really? The oldest book is the epic of Gilgamesh or the RigVeda (depending on which expert you ask). Where does either discuss marriage? The oldest printed book is the Diamond Sutra, can you quote what it says regarding marriage?
