They can marry the opposite sex just like anyone else, no rights have ever been denied.

can I go to California and marry myself?

Think of the taxes you'd save by filing a joint return!

I understand your frustration, but hey, are these people's clownish antics really worth endangering even one law enforcement officer's safety? Why not simply require each of the couples who played at getting married to pay for a divorce, if they get tired of playing "let's pretend" and want to go back to the promiscuous ways which are typical of many homosexual people? Yes--a divorce, complete with lawyers' fees, property division, community property issues, custody issues (for those among them who are parents), etc., etc.

Well, ummmm, because they're not really married under California law.

As America rapidly slips down the slippery slope to moral decay and eventual destruction. I would predict there is going to be a outbreak in gay bashing with extreme prejudice by people who are fed up with having the homo's agenda shoved at them. Too bad so sad, a matter of choice.

But THEY say they are!!!

So how come they can pick and choose which rules and responsibilities apply to them, but the rest of us can't??
