The federal governments number crunchers believe some 21,318 same-sex couples call Georgia home, according to the U.S. Census Bureaus most recent accounting, and new research forecasts that as many as half would jump the broom within three years if allowed by their government.
Im one-half of one of those aggrieved couples denied, for more than five years, the social stability and legal protections of marriage. And, as a former spokesman for the Republican National Committee and adviser to prominent party figures, Im also a professional political operative whos helped install in government those who perpetuate marriage bias in America.
Its not always easy to love Georgia, or love in it. Our state constitution explicitly forbids same-sex unions, and the local economy remains defiantly sluggish. Yet in spite of its blemishes, my would-be groom and I are deeply committed to our community, one whose values of faith and family we share.

The statistic of failed marriages is a little askew.
The number of marriages performed fail at nearly 50%. However, that includes second and third marriages.
The number of people who get married, and stay married is significantly higher than 50%.
‘No GOP homosexual fantasies for me today, thanks.
No...you just want to parade your perversion...go back in the closet please
Gay “marriage” serves the purposes of making a political statement or personal pleasure, neither of which is worthy of government endorsement. Real marriage has been endorsed by governments for thousands of years because it contributes to a stable home for the resulting children. Since gay hook ups do not lead to children, even when they last for several years, there is no government interest in endorsing such interactions.
Your THE NAIL on this thread!
Roflmao!!
Ditto and perfect!
Particularly your use of Clark’s famous line to Scarlet! My sentiments exactly! So sick of the whole subject!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just saying, he was a mid level player in the GOP, and probably made 4 to 6 times what I made at my best paying job I ever had. And he whines about not having tax / insurance benefits as befitting a married couple.
Well let me whine about the decline in jobs, increased crime, lack of checks and balances in our governments.(local, state, federal)And humbly suggest if he still has a place at the feed trough that is the “party” nowadays,to get over the ideology of sexual preference, and get a backbone for OUR country.
No. Marriage is a religious sacrament - you can’t simple redefine it without considering the religious implications.
Find a willing woman then, and stop all this man-humping adultery.
“...my would-be groom and I are deeply committed to our community, one whose values of faith and family we share.”
I highly doubt they share the faith or values of most Georgians.
Georgia has nearly 10 million residents, and we've just learned that only .5% of Georgia's population (42,000) live as "couples", and only .25% of the gay population will seek "marriage" if it's legalized.
but.... but... holy cow!
Understood...
Common arguments use the worst statistic and that is the one most used however incorrect it technically is. Were you to engage a proponent of marriage destruction...er equality, I feel sure it would be tossed out as if it were a huge rhetorical point scored.
Yours are correct.
He just can’t marry another man. A woman can’t marry another woman.
Haley Barbour eh? Worse and worse he is smelling to me.
