Topic: Gay marriage
Quote: That analogy doesn\'t work here.\nIt appears that your beef is with the prestige associated with being able to say "We\'re married." as opposed to recognizing yourselves as "same-sex couples with all the rights and privileges afforded married couples".\nThe fact is that people are not prohibited from being married because of their sexual orientation. A gay man can marry any woman that will have him. A lesbian can marry any man that will have her. You are not denied the right to marry...so long as you comply with the rules of marriage...including the one about one male and one female.\nChanging definitions just to satisfy the ego of any one group is patently ridiculous. One might ask why we can\'t call ourselves female when we are actually male or why males shouldn\'t be allowed to enroll in an all girls school.\nIf it benefits you want, have at it. Work on Congress to come up with something like PACS.\nIf it\'s an attack on the definition of marriage, then get lost.
Response: What foundits attitude proves is that the homosexual agenda\'s standard claim for decades now that it is "EQUALITY" which they seek has been nothing more than a huge smoke screen which I have been saying in every debate we have ever had. When a compromise plan is recommended and is working fine in France, which gives them every single right of social and economic equality they have ever asked for, that still isn\'t enough. They wont rest until they redefine marriage for the rest of us.\nI\'ll bet the Goodridges would love this plan, in hindsight. emoticonXDonno\nFirst Same-Sex Couple to Marry in the U.S. Files for Divorce
