I am opposed to same sex marriage.
It would not matter if the “couple” was homosexual or heterosexual.
Is someone going to make me prove I am a practicing homosexual before I am permitted to “marry” a female business partner in order to take advantage of various tax deductions and numerous legal protections that were designed to protect, encourage, and strengthen the family as the basic unit in our society?
The entire argument for “gay marriage” is a stupid political joke.
Any two people can easily sign joint full “Power of Attorney” legal documents.
My former husband and I did (against legal advise) and it was a beautiful thing!
Make medical decisions for each other? check
Have total right to make all financial choices? check
It went far beyond simple marriage rights. My partner (husband) could sign any and all legal documents, contracts, financial transactions up to and including re-enlistment in the DOD on my behalf!
He could have even legally divorced me.
If we were not married, with a full Power of Attorney, he could have married me.
Our society consistently says NO to attempted claims to marriage as other than that of one man and one woman.
I have yet to hear a reason to alter that.
Well said. And hopefully.........Obama’s swing towards gay marriage will entirely backfire on his campaign and cause him to lose millions of votes. Funny how Obama went along with the program after that clown Biden opened his mouth in favor of “gay marriage”. The perfect storm is when the politically blind lead the politically foolish.
