Rich, is the fact that a "marriage" under the law, is nothing more than a civil contract have any meaning? then can it not be argued, that it is in fact, the state that is being discriminatory for not allowing you to enter into that civil contract? why does the LGBT community believe it is the people that are discriminating? to take it a step further and force your neighbors or people the choice to participate in that lifestyle, by acceptance, is not right either.
