1. By definition? Site your source please. Try not to thump too loudly. BTW - I didn't say the transit workers were gay. Your point is unclear and says to me that you're not sure where you stand. You're lashing out. Better to seek some inspiration.
2. Of course I don't condone those relationships. But a formal religon tolerates them. Does god accept them as well? Do you? I think not. Why do you assume that I condone them from what I wrote? Your dogma jets are in overdrive.
3. You're saying marriage is meaningful only if government sanctioned. Health benefits to a spouse enjoy preferential tax treatment, it's a government distinction. So, who takes precedence? A god or the government? Does a god require government approval? A god? A four star, seven carbon, three dimensional, ocean going, 24 carat, steam powered, omnipotent god? Come on, why invoke government to shore up your point? It's a distinction made by men, not by gods.

Liberation, I'm not going to get into a flame war over this. If you don't think that marriage is "The legal union of a man and woman as husband and wife," you're out in left field somewhere. You're trying to put words in my mouth about one thing after another, religion, government, "dogma" . . .
If you want to be a troll, get off this board. Go to DU, mutter things to yourself in the dark. But I don't want any part of it.
