What business is it of ours if someone wants a relationship with someone? Marriage IS protected, no rights are to be lost to those wanting to do a traditional marriage. One should worry about themselves and their lives instead of someone else's relationship.
Freedom allows things we don't always agree with. Diversity is a part of the American way - which is why we have everything here from Baptists to Catholics to Atheists.
What you call diversity, I call perversion. It was better kept in the closet.
How many married people do you see running around saying "I'm Straight" and having "Straight" parades & wearing "straight" T-shirts?
I don't care what kind of relationship you or anyone else wants to have, but keep it to yourself. Why do you need acceptance from the straight people?
None. Now why do you want the government to affirm someone else's relationship? Unless by "relationship" you mean "a relationship with all the rights conferred upon another relationship in some way analogous to this one". Which isn't just "someone else's relationship" then, is it? It's the conferring of governmental approval and providing benefit to that relationship. And that's not the same thing at all.
One should worry about themselves
Which is why you're posting back on FR, right? Your altruistic commitment to worrying about yourself.
Just wondering. Were you, as a child, reared in a home with two lesbian "moms" or two gay "dads"? If so, was that an acceptable environment for you?
If not, can you truthfully say that you would be perfectly comfortable with that kind of home life?
In my home I had a female mother and a male father whose marriage lasted 55 years, when my Dad died.
I'm thankful for both of them and can't imagine, in my wildest dreams, having two moms or two dads. It's simply unnatural.
End of the line, troll.
