Then, as a separate event, people should have to file a separate petition for civil union with the government that is never called "marriage."

Have you never heard of the term "marriage license". That is what this whole thing is about.

Should "marriage licenses" be granted to same sex couples, or father/daughter - Father/Son - Mother/Daughter - Uncle/Niece - Multiple Couples....

The answer is NO!

And it is clearly not up to a bunch of unelected and unaccountable justices who are all suffering from Alzheimers disease to make the decision for the whole of the country.

Marriage has both a traditional and legal definition. If you separate one from the other, then marriage has no meaning at all.

Exactly.

If homosexuals are worried about legal status they should form legal partnerships. They can involves as many deviants as they want and amend it at any time to suit their fetishes.

Here’s a brief and easy reason for Kennedy to understand why it is rational to discriminate against homosexuality. It is deadly behavior. It causes defect, spreads disease, and is highly associated with mental collapse.

It is counter-productive behavior, and sticking one’s body parts in cesspools is irrational. Thorough sterilization after handling sewage is standard practice in any occupation that has workers coming in contact with bodily excretions.

The only shared-bodily-fluids exception I know of is semen deposited in a female. That alone is life-giving.

This is not rocket science, Justice Kennedy.

If you think the government solemnizes marriage, then you equate government with God.

Linking marriage only with its religious source is the solution to this dilemma. If your religion doesn't perform gay marriage, then it should be irrelevant to you if some other religion does. And if government gets out of the marriage business and only administrates civil unions, then it has no way to have any effect on anyone's marriage.

Problem solved.
