That is just...odd. No idea why you feel the need to have such a wall, but it's just...like I said, weird.
not a wall at all, I just believe in the concept of limited goverment, and limited goverment interference. unlike most who would rather live a nanny state than have a sense of self responsibility.

Right....so a nanny state is where you try your best to not be a complete & utter outright jack as* because...well, it's a nanny state. WHAT? LOL, that is some warped thinking....you see, I come from the mind set of not being a complete d*uche bag & trying to watch what I say or do because....well, I have feelings & since I'm a human being & those "others out there" are "humans" as well...they just may have feelings as well. It's called being a normal, nice person. You really don't need to think about it. If your words cause a reaction (psssst, you may not see the reaction immediately because you may be the type of person who is all "caught up in themselves"), then you just may be a d*uche bag. See how that works? Think....before you speak. It does wonders, I promise you.

Homosexuality is technically "abnormal". However, abnormal=/=bad.
American Psychological Association (2009 report):
".. the research and clinical literature demonstrate that same-sex sexual and romantic attractions, feelings, and behaviors are normal and positive variations of human sexuality.."http://www.apa.org/pi/lgbt/resources/sexual-orientation.aspx
people always like to enspouse the seperation of church and state, but when it comes to marriage it is ok not to have speration of church and state, even with allot of liberals.
civil unions are in the venue of the goverment and marriages are in the venue of the church/religion. simple as that.

Well if marriage is only a religious matter, then those marriages performed in churches don't need to be legally recognised by the government.
And if those sacred religious marriages are not legally recognised by the government, there wouldn't BE any legal or financial benefits. I mean what does a sacred religious relationship have to do with anything legal or financial?..How sacreligious! And tacky! No doubt God will provide for those couples yes? They don't need the government to get involved and provide then with more than a 1000 or so secular legal and financial benefits.
So the only couples to get any legal and financial benefits from the government would be those with legally recognised civil unions.
Gay marriage bill defeated in NJ. The American people have once again spoken out against the homofascists' gay agenda of destroying the sanctity of marriage. Thank you, New Jersey!
They still have civil unions and many in New Jersey would like to see same-sex marriage.
I realize the poll was done in 2006 but I doubt the numbers have gone down since then.
Most Americans disagree on the name given to same-sex couples when they receive the same rights as married couples. Most prefer the term civil union. The big debate seems to be over a word: marriage. Most people think same-sex couples should have the same rights as married heterosexuals.
The New Jersey Senate voted on the issue, not the citizens of NJ. I bet if the issue was put on the ballot, the people of NJ would vote for same-sex marriage.

"Failed marriages" began to occur because it became easier to get a divorce. It had nothing to do with gay rights. I'd love to see someone try to prove that gay rights caused failed marriages between opposite-sex couples.
American Psychological Association. Are these the ame people who constantly say ' the prisoner is cured and is no threat to society" and when that person gets out of jail, commits more of the same crimes. Psychological, is not an exact science.
And answer to the original question, NO.
