His point has nothing to do with sex.

“....he simply wanted to have an honest discussion about the potential unintended consequences of a redefinition of marriage.”
You simply CANNOT have an honest discussion about anything on the topic of homosexuality. You fall in line or you’re a ‘homophobe.’

Why not just give everyone a tax break and quit bastardizing marriage?

I’m sure that much of the push towards legal same-sex “marriage” is about the financial benefits.
None of the judges imposing this on the American people has yet explained how homosexual relationships are equivalent to the biologically driven pair bonding of heterosexual couples that is meant to produce children.

It is a LOT about the tax benefits. Too bad a conservative gay couple (I’m sure there are some out there) couldn’t come up with the idea that ALL people should get the marriage break. Of course then the courts would probably just rule in “fairness” to get rid of the tax break altogether.

Seriously, if you actually get a tax break, why wouldnt two hetero buddies marry, then declare theyre straight and marrying to screw the system? There's no requirement that either party in a same-sex marriage needs to be homosexual, or that the marriage needs to be consummated. He's just scratching the surface when it comes to the estate planning and financial planning possibilities.
When money is involved, people can become very creative about interpreting laws in ways that have nothing to do with the intentions of the law's authors.

Oh!! ADAM Baldwin....for a minute, I thought Alec had come to his senses...I thought Alec Baldwin, too! After Alec's long piece the other day, I thought he is really going to be in hot water now with the homosexual groups saying this!
To: Gene Eric
Yep, government can screw anything up. I bet many decades back some do gooder types decided that government must get involved in marriage, you know to make sure us the unwashed did it right. They decided we needed those government marriage certificates so husband and wife could be proud that they met the government's standard. A priest, rabbi, or reverend (no they did not meet in a bar somewhere) saying you can kiss the bride just wasn't good enough. You needed more importantly, the thumbs up by some pasty face bureaucrat down at city hall. I would not be bold in speculating that the do gooders were church going folk back hundred years or so. They wanted government to get involved to make sure us sinners stayed on the straight and narrow. They thought the church just wasn't enough to keep us moral, so they got the government involved. Well hundred years later the law of unintended consequences has come down hard and led us to this current mess. And guess what, we will do it again with something else. That is get the government involved in people's personal lives, and pay the penalty for some monstrosity decades later.

I heard from a lesbian that to get tax benefits, an older lesbian will adopt a younger lesbian who is her lover. So, it is a very valid point.

I agree. Unfortunately, we have a minority view on the matter.

Which argues for the elimination of the income tax. It is a chief mechanism of social engineering.

Nice. You have inspired me to break out my Firefly collection.
Lately, I have been wondering if there isn't some fundamental, well established law--from common law, the Magna Carta, whatever--that could be used to bring the whole socialist house of cards (or a big part of it) tumbling down. Baldwin's idea is a baby step in that direction--using marriage as the wedge--but it doesn't suffice. I can't help but wonder if it's something so simple and straighforward that we cannot see it. But it would be great if someone could recall such a law and how it might be used to defeat our opponents. Yes, I know they operate extra-constitutionally all the time, but I am not talking about that. I'm talking about the silver bullet you forgot was in your pocket.
