Palm Springs is really abuzz about all this...having a gay mayor and gay majority on their city council, there is a bit of pressure for them to lobby Riverside County to allow similar "weddings"...
P.S. - Wassup with the screen name change?

"Activists also charge that same-sex marriages are necessary to protect certain legal privileges."
Only thing same-sex couples aren't entitled to (so far) compared to normal married couples is social security. If (and that's a big IF) same-sexers CAN be legally married, the social security system WILL be in even bigger trouble.

The Left wants to remake society in its anarchic, counter-cultural image.

Big trouble if a guy or gal wants to marry their horse like that one wacko did a while back! Imagine employer provided health care and SS for a horse!! Could get even worse. Suppose this person objects to his/her spouse being called an animal and insists it be treated as a human being. I'd hate to be on an airplane when this person takes the spouse on a second honeymoon and insists it get a seat like everyone else. And some idiot judge will agree with him/her.

I really believe the term Homosexual more clearly defines the person being discussed than the term gay.
When discussing this subject I prefer to use the term Homosexual.

I like 'Gay Homosexual'. Sure it's a Cartman ripoff, but it rolls off the tongue.

Activists claim that its a civil rights issue. Theyre denied the right heterosexuals have of marrying the person they want. But that right, even for heterosexuals, is not an absolute one. If you doubt that, try getting a marriage license issued to wed a 10-year-old or a sibling or someone whos already married..
...or is San Francisco also issuing licenses for these abominations? Commonly recognized restrictions such as these clearly demonstrate the right of society to regulate the process.
To: Mike Bates
Can we imagine the uproar is a judge decided to put a monument to the Ten Commandmants in the foyer of a court house? That's been done? How did it turn out?
Okay , how about a mayor who decides that he has the authority to issue concealed carry permits to anyone who pays the fee?

What is obvious is that most heterosexuals (of whatever political persuasion I've talked to) do not think that homosexuality is normal and equal to heterosexuality. Because it isn't. As you have stated only a tiny percentage of people are homosexuals. As for it being natural or inborn, I also believe that many murderers and criminals have inborn sociopathic tendencies. Because it may be natural in no wise makes it legitimate. Duh!

I said to my Ex-Cleveland teacher/flaming liberal/Kucinich voting/lesbian sister with Munchausen Syndrome, when she said, "I was born like this!!"
"So were pedophiles, that doesn't make it right."

P.S. - Wassup with the screen name change?I'm suffering from Irish Alzheimer's, forgetting everything but the grudges. On most days, though, I am able to remember my name so switching to it seemed a good idea. Now if I can only remember that I changed screen names. . .

That's certainly a consideration. Since many (most?) same-sex couples are DINKS (dual income, no kids) they just might be left to collecting their own Socialist Insecurity benefits like straight folks have to.
