And in related news, unemployment advocates today requested that all jobs be outlawed in order for there to be equity between the employed and unemployed.

So if gays can't get married nobody can?
To: Sweet_Sunflower29
They are absolutely right. The law should be neutral on the issue of marriage. It is simply none of the government's business.
If there are to be special priviledges for married people, the government will be unable to avoid making them available to non-traditional couples by expanding the definition of marriage. This is only the latest of an unbroken string of about a thousand examples of how government destroys what it seeks to promote. We should realize that government is destructive to the institution of marriage and keep it as far away from marriage as possible.
Shared property, child custody, power of attorney, and the like can be handled through other legally binding agreements between individuals. There is no need to have government mucking around in the definition of who is and who is not married. Because the government will come down on the side of inclusivity, every single time.
The FMA will never happen.

"There's no lengths to which they won't go, said Sandy Rios of Concerned Women for America. And of course it undermines traditional marriage and we cannot allow them to do that." Fine. Too bad she has no intention of working to repaal no fault divorce laws, which is what have weakend traditional marriage to the point where it is actually endangered by the other side. This is like someone decrying the weeds in the front yard while the foundation of the house is caving in.

Shared property, child custody, power of attorney, and the like can be handled through other legally binding agreements between individuals.Out of curiosity, where would these "legally binding agreements" be enforced if one party violates them?

"A group of legal scholars and gay advocacy groups are calling for marriage to be de-legalized in order to make the distribution of benefits more fair for people who arent married, including gay couples." The whole idea of a government "distributing benefits" is counter to the American tradition of individual freedom.
Bearing in mind that marriage is the foundation of society.

Out of curiosity, where would these "legally binding agreements" be enforced if one party violates them? In court, just like divorces are handled today, every day of the week.

Just from a pragmatic standpoint, this suggestion flies in the face of all human history.

always part of the homosexual agenda. Now that some states have civil unions, eliminate marriage and ONLY recognize civil unions.
Most people do not realize that states only recognize your executed marriage license not your religious ceremony.
That marriage amendment is looking better and better.

"The goal is equality between married and unmarried persons, Defining deviancy downwards. Bring everyone DOWN to the same level.
If "de-criminalizing" means "to legalize", does "de-legalizing" mean "to criminalize"???
