I think it might've been Little Miss Sunshine actually. When her uncle, I think it is, is explaining to her about his boyfriend, about how boys like boys she says something like, 'that's silly.' lol

Easy, it was never about marriage in the first place or the monetary benefits, that's something for the duped to grasp at
I've heard it argued that civil unions don't confer all the same 'rights', but if they do, then there shouldn't be an argument imo. It's quibbling over definitions. Civil unions are a state thing, but isn't marriage usually a religious thing too?
While I don't take it all as a joke, at times I admit I do see it in a lighter way. I mean who cares if they want to marry, but I admit, when people make jokes about two grooms or something it can be kind of amusing.
Well, now we know more about you. And it's not a good impression you've made.

And there's the rub. They want legitimization in the context of religion and it's felt as if they are forcing their way, under the guise of "equality and rights".
It hardly matters though because it's built into nature's fabric that homosexuality is a dead end. Unless, and I've asked this before, is homosexuality nature's way of getting rid of undesirable genes?

If it was a dead end, wouldn't it be dead by now?

The argument is that two people of the same gender shouldn't be barred from marriage if the sets of people above aren't barred from it?
I don't disagree necessarily...what I'm saying is that heterosexual marriages of a certain type are fundamentally different from the marriages above and that institutions that recognize this difference shouldn't be forced to assent to the non-separation and equality of all marriages.
Now, you want me to assent to the assertion that those institutions should be forced to recognize the non-difference of the marriages in question. How can I when 1) I don't think any institution should be forced to assent to something they don't agree with 2) I recognize the difference between the two types of marriages 3) The marriages above are an offspring of the traditional marriage model so it is understandable why they'd be celebrated 4) I recognize why it would be felt important to emphasize one of the other 5)It doesn't fall in line with what I want personally from the future...?
Honestly, tell me?
That said, people will do what they want regardless...and they should be able to.
However, if certain institutions don't find it agreeable...then they should be able not to.
If in the process that institution is labeled racist, spiteful, homophobic...we've been called far worse. If we are so wrong...then why are we still around? Further, why are we thriving? I'll give you a hint...it's because it's built into nature's fabric.
(Strictly morally...economically, it's a different debate...)
I can see why you would have second thoughts about marrying within the family but what's wrong with polygamy?
What's wrong with polygamy is that mating is a biological need built into everyone and the sexes are born in (roughly) equal numbers. So when you have polygamy you end up with an excess of people with a biological drive which society has given them no possible way to fufill in a socially acceptable way.
With one or two cases of it, that's really nothing. But were it widespread, it would be a prescription for an unstable society.
