You keep putting marriage on a pedestal. It's not marriage you really want, it's tax breaks and insurance incentives.

My preferred solution is the government gets out of the "marriage" business altogether and, if anything, only recognizes civil unions/domestic partnerships and the like. "Marriage" is a loaded word to many religious people. The word means nothing to me."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Ben brought his dead father into this. I didn't insult his dead father, I made the observation that Ben is a piece of **** that we know to be hated by his family. It's a slight on Ben, not his dead father.PS: Ben is the smaller man in every way, and I don't need to prove that.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

One can support or oppose gay marriage but it's pretty darn clear is that what the proponents seek is for a gay couple to be treated EXACTLY like a hetero couple with respect to the rights nd obligations to each other if they choose to marry.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

And yet, you cannot appreciate the emotional devastation of a gay man who is denied seeing his partner in the hospital while the partner is dying.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Gays don't comprise a traditional family unit, they'll never have kids and even the bottoms tend to work at spas or whatever making as much as their boyfriends. So they are denied the tax incentives. Cry all you want about it, but get in line with everyone else, like people who don't own homes, people who don't have solar panels on their homes, people who don't have cash for charity, etc.

Originally posted by onodera View PostNo, asking for gay marriage is closer to blacks getting riled up because they want to be hired as mall Santas for Christmas season and are refused because Santa obviously has to be white. Like I have ****ing said, I do not want to deny gay people their rights.
Do married people get tax breaks in Russia?"I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!

Originally posted by Wiglaf View PostIt's not simply because they're deviants. Many of the privileges of marriage are designed around the husband/wife arrangement. Married couples benefit from billions in income tax reductions when one spouse (the husband, almost always) makes a lot of money and another (the wife) makes nothing and raises the kids. The incentives are designed around the traditional family unit.
