Oh, really? What stereotypes, the ones you straight people create? I do hear it all the time, why don't you gay people just find an opposite sex partner and get married. What is that but deceiving another person just to satisfy those against same sex marriages?

Read your words. Single people are allowed to get married, where have you been the last century of longer? The marriage benefits and rights are in place to protect the couples assets, property and life together. A single person is a single person by choice, if they want to get married and get the benefits, that is their right to do. You obviously do not understand marriage or the rights and benefits that come with a civil marriage contract by the federal government.

how does a single person get the benefits of a married couple?

quite clearly they do not, and how do you know this is a choice anyway.

Unfortunately, yes. Only gays qualify for same sex marriage. In order to prevent two heterosexuals of the same gender from marrying, the Obama administration has instituted the Same-sex Orientated Determination Of Marriageability (SODOM) test for couples that AG Holder or his deputies deem "suspiciously straight-acting".

The test involves an extended exposure to gay porn with several metrics for arousal, which may be waived if NSA records show a browser history full of gay porn sites. There is also a wardrobe inspection. Finally, applicants will be asked to name at least three Tony Award winners from each of the previous five years.

just no point to it
Why do couples stay married after they stop having sex?

Boy, you do not get it. Single people can get married. Why do they need the marriage rights and benefits, if they are not married?

Yeah, but there's entertainment value in watching him stagger along and talk in circles. One minute he's opposing something, the next minute he accidentally makes a case for the very thing to which he objected only moments earlier.

Funny. I would fail your test. I do not have porn sites in my history, I am a horrible dresser; blue jeans or shorts with a non matching shirt and work boots. I have no sense of style or design. I also could not name you a single Tony Award winner from any period of time, nor accademy award winners. For all visible purposes, I appear straight, act straight and many people assume I am straight, even gays that I know. When I tell them I have been with my partner for 34 years, they assume I mean a woman and are almost shocked to find out it is a man. I even did a 545 mile bike ride last year with 2205 other bicyclists with half being gay or lesbian and most of them thought I was one of the straight bikers.
