Legislation to give them hospital visitation rights and the like is fine, but this excuse used once upon a time has long since been addressed with power of attorneys and other legal documents.
The sole purpose of same-sex marriage now is to render real marriages meaningless by letting any group of deviants define marriage down and plumb ever lower.
I agree and its a part of a larger more nefarious aim. The rhetoric and activism of lgbt is aimed at permanently changing the paradigm of western culture concerning sex, gender, and family. This erosion inevitably gives the state more power and the family less because these “new” genders and family structures are inherently more dependent on government for their very existence. Further more most “gay culture” is vulgar, depraved, and an expression of irresponsible sexual behavior. It doesn’t mean of course that all lgbt are like this but the undercurrent is there and very few lgbt dare to stand up to the numerous negative components of the gay subculture.
That aside, there is absolutely no requirement in the US constitution that requires states to license gay marriages. The whole idea that there is one is just ridiculous. If the Supreme Court dictates that ssm licensure is required by states then there is no reason why polygamous, polyamorous, incestuous, and virtually any other union between adults not be licensed by the states and they will be and the state will be required to grow to not just license but also force acceptance of these alternative arrangements. Live and let live is clearly not acceptable in an lgbt dominated culture.
They were given civil unions for visits to hospitals plus they could have got the people they wish to have visited as a NOK/
It was another lie by the homostapo to further their agenda.
