You guys don’t get it:
The main reason the homos want to have their marriages recognized is for THE BENEFITS (so-called spousal health/dental/life insurance).
We need to eliminate the difference in treatment of benefits for married vs. single people for employees and then there will be no incentive for the shirt-lifters to grab for benefits.
In other words: Each employee receives ONE UNIT of benefits no matter what his/her marital/sexual orientation.
The Gay Marriage movement is really just another variant of the socialist agenda. It’s all about LIBERAL GREED.
As for the religious angle, since we presumably have separation of church and state, it should not matter what the bible says about gays for how the gov’t handles this.
They are people and should have basic human rights, correct? The Libertarian stance would be let homos get married if they want to, but don’t accord them (or married people) any different amount of benefits.
I personally don’t care what the homos do. Let them get married (hey, that means less men competing for women for us single guys) but don’t force me to pay extra for their “spousal benefits”.
That is the proper Civic argument against Gay Marriage.

No, you don’t get it. What they want is for all of us to sanction their disordered lives. They want there to be no restrictions on acting out on any sort of sexual desires involving any sort of object or animal, including our children and our pets.
Wrongo! The clamoring for the benefits is merely a pretext for their attack on marriage. Apparently, you don't get that. In jurisdictions which fully equate civil unions with real marriage, it is still not enough. It never will be.
They are out for the complete destruction of anything good and Godly. Until you understand that, you won't understand what motivates homo-activists/Leftists.
The bennies should cost more because of the higher risk lifestyle. It should be the same as smokers vs non smokers for life/health insurance. Single vs married for auto insurance, etc. You want bennies, then pay more.
