It has been interesting to see what issues folks care about. I care about many of them too. I was disappointed to see so many disrespectful comments. I have to add that marriage/civil unions should be between consenting adults, not people and animals. Marrying your sister is also out unless you want birth defects in your children. No one should marry their sibling or parent. It doesn't hurt my marriage or yours one iota if two guys marry each other. Marriage/civil unions help to stabilize society, so it is better for society if they settle down. I read where the wedding industry alone stood to make a ton of money on these new ceremonies. And let's face it, they have always been here and aren't going away. They should be entitled to the same rights and benefits as I have such as inheritance, hospital visitation, and the other 1000+ rights that automatically come with signing a marriage license. Religion should be separate from this discussion because we're talking about Constitutionally mandated rights, not Biblical principles. The latter are to be left to the church. Think about this also, anyone can run off to a quick Vegas wedding, get divorced, and get married again all on a whim. All kinds of heinous criminals can get married too, but not "them." Why not? And before anyone brings up "chosen lifestyle" think long and hard about how it was that you "chose". I think you'll find, like I did, that everyone is born the way they are, no choice except to be true to yourself. You don't choose who you're attracted to. Sorry if this was vague, but I'm trying to keep it clean.
