When gays and lesbians secure the right to marry in all fifty states, it will be called marriage, because that's exactly what it will be.
..That won't happen maybe 7 or 8 states on the west and east coast by 2040 or 2050 and when that happen the states can take it to the U.S. Supreme Court...

How are homosexuals trying to normalize homosexuality by legalizing gay marriage. I don't see this anywhere execpt in the imagination of conservatives. All getting legalizing marriage and calling it gay marriage is a form of equal rights. How is it going to infringe on any heterosexual person's way of life.

How about you change the name you call "marriage."
Since there's no "right" to the name, you'll need something you can control.

"equal but separate" is not equal... we learned this lesson with segregated schools...
as for any marriage with a man or a woman it is the same.. its a commitment under the law to another person. If you can make babies.. more power to you.. if you can't and have to adopt.. even more power to ya..
equal but separate is not logical or acceptable in a nation that prides itself on freedom... what year are you people living in? 1950? extend freedom and equality to everyone or get out of the way so others can.

Including polygamists? Polyandrists? Pedophiles? Michael Jackson?

You have to stop somewhere, my friend. And nothing in your litanties indicates where that might be.
