They can get married the same as you and I can. They can go to the justice of the peace- they can go to a church. They can hire a minister and get married on a beach- they can get married in an airplane- or an amusement park. As long as they follow the laws- just like you and I do.

I asked you once, where?

What happens when someone wants to marry their goldfish-couldn't someone say they deserve the same rights as anyone else? Should we have a law that they can so they can get the special tax breaks which come with marriage?

Diva, with all due respect, I haven't a clue why you are asking me these inane questions. They have nothing to do either with the original thrust of the thread or of my agreement that a dichotomy does exist. As I pointed out to another poster, I am firmly against gay marriage period. If a state wants gay marriage, or mattress or goldfish marriages, then if the people of that state agree, fine with me. But from a federal perspective, no other state should honor it.

Ok. They already have the right to get married- it just must be to someone of the opposite sex. Now I can sympathize that they may not love someone of the opposite sex- but that is the law. The same law that you and I need to follow.

If we have special laws for homosexuals then someone will decide we need to have special rights for them as well. As nutso as the left as gotten I have no doubt that someone will come up with the idea of marrying a couch or a goldfish and pushing for special rights. That is what they do-push the envelope until nothing is the same.

SO while I don't care what two consenting adults do in the privacy of their own home, I do not support special laws for them.

I , personally wish there was a way they could marry -so they could just be happy. But they would have to change the law. So I have to go with not changing the law.
