Is the one on the right a scary AA lesbian, or an 8 year old boy?

The various red herrings you raise were all actually adressed in the court decision as well as a few that you did not raise.
The decision is a solid, well reasoned piece and provides very few avenues for successful appeal.
The bottom line is that the court saw the ability to marry as being a right or benefit and there was no logical reason to exclude a whole class of two person relationships. They addressed
1. family and procreation-- no difference except that gay couples obtain their children in a different manner. They are no less families
2. "The marriage is a man-woman thing because thats what it is" argument
Sorry . . . marriage has evolved from the days where a wife was the property of her husband to the present day. The above argument is the same as saying that a voter is a propertied white man because thats the way its always been.
Basically the court reasoned that there was no harm to heterosexual married couples in allowing homosexual couples to marry.
It is a good decision and is to be applaudedYou don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto LuongoComment

Me and my boyfriend..
For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)Comment

You should see that..
Yeah I mean what is the big deal with the whole thing.. it is not like we are doing anything wrong.. we are just two handsome young guys who are holding each other closely..
If that is not beautiful.. I don't know what is.

Mrfun
Three problems
1. there would be one too many penis in the relationship to fit my personal orientation
2. I am already married
3. I live in Alberta and the government has been vehement that they will not permit same-sex marriage here and are even willing to overrride the Charter to continue this position.
But ask someone else . . . maybe they will say yes
