That pretty much sums it up.

Its also why gay activists don't want government out of the marriage business and don't just do a basic "sign a will/and give the partner power of attorney".

Some libertarians have proposed only allowed civil unions (recognized by the government) for straight and gay folks, while leaving "marriage" itself to whatever religious institution there is.

Gay activists are opposed to that too, they want the benefits of marriage and also the laziness of avoiding the issues of contract law and courts.

No, they want to destroy the Institution of Marriage by polluting it with their perversionistic "life" (read death) style.

That’s what they say.

What people HEAR is: “Hey, I am totally unrealistically clueless about our real culture and how the real world works.”
