Granting same sex couples equal rights and protections under the law, and applying a term other than “marriage” to same sex unions would best serve the needs of the individuals (and their rights, under the Constitution) and the equally compelling interests of society.

To propose such an alternative is to profess ignorance of the motives of the pro-gay marraige forces.

They don't want fair. They want us to bless their lifestyle by saying there is NO difference between their's and our's.

And even then they won't be satisfied.

You've got it partially right.

The real motive is the complete destruction of the institution of marriage. This then completes the leftists' attack on this institution. The lefties had to get rid of the structure of the American family because it stood in the way of people being dependent on the government. "Gay marriage" is the last nail in the coffin. If marriage can mean ANY type of coupling, then it means nothing at all. And, that is the point.

I think we have many “republican” trolls pushing this homosexual based marriage nonsense. It is all a means to and end and the end is ending marriage as a broad insititution. Marriage or whatever is left would be come a grant via government fiat.

We are going to suffer many republican and so called conservative outings in the next few months. Olson has fallen, melman is out, crist is protected by the msm, and so on. It is time to purge DC and the MSM of these fetish agenda fanatics.
