Half right. Liberal gays want that. But the truth is, those liberal, promiscuous gays do not really want marriage, with all its drawbacks. They are just shouting "for show" to get what you said above. However, conservative gays either do not want gay "marriage" but only equal rights re insurance, etc., or they simply want to be able to live a committed life recognized by society although they know and admit they will never reach the historical meaning behind the perfect union of a man and a woman.
It's about normalizing all forms of sexual activities and the destruction of ancient historical concepts of family. The goal is to obliterate the family as the foundation of society and replace it with socialist bureaucracies of experts and their minions of underlings.
I used to think the same thing. I think it's more simple for the gay couples I know. They just want to be able to live a better life, one very much like the straight couple next door.
Both gay couples I know really want the insurance coverage from their partner's work. My dear friend, a lesbian, has terminal cancer. Her partner is a doctor. If only she were able to reap spousal coverage. At least they do have resources but many do not.
I used to be UPSET at the thought of gays getting spousal insurance coverage. However, they are not taking away any coverage from straight people. In an office, the workers are either straight or gay. It is not logical that they are given spousal coverage only because they are straight. That is actually discrimination. It's not about being "PC," it's just fair.
Gays are not going away, folks. Let's draw them toward our party since they are here anyway.
Insurance, ect... is not a right, neither is health care, ect... It is payment negotiated in a labor contract, it is not an entitlement. If they don't beleive that, then they are not conservative.
My mother is sick and needs insurance. But I can't put her on my insurance coverage. I love my mother dearly. Am I being discriminated against?
Spoken like a true California Republican...
