A question looming just around the corner is whether the unvested member of a same-sex partner who is vested to get Social Security benefits will be entitled to get a portion of the vested partner's benefits.

Yep. Because they don't have natural love or normal spouses, they can just pass on their SS survival bennies on to a friend who's genitals they play with - at the rest of societies expense!!

"Hi. I'm Steve. I play with my friend Ted's penis, so he should get Social Security benefits paid for by the American taxpayers when I die."

I'm opposed to government licensing/registration/regulation of ANY type of marriage, but if adding gays to the ranks of the government-recognized ranks of the married will hasten the collapse of the socialist entitlement system, then I'm all for it. We can get government out of marriage afterwards.

The moral of the story, then as now, is that they never tell you about the difficult part.

Neither side in this era of the sound-bite and the quick rhetorical trigger is talking about the difficult part of the story.

I knew when I got this far that the author was trying, but I figured he would give in before the end and use the real word that comes to mind:

This then, is the hard part.

While the writer is doubtless correct as to the consequences of embracing madness, in the particular regard discussed; it seems to me that this is the wrong approach to the question. To even go this far is to accord a level of intellectual credibility to an "idea," the only conceivable argument for which is that its proponents have simply changed the meaning of a lot of once very well understood words.

But you cannot change reality by changing terminology. "Homosexual marriage" is an obvious oxymoron. The "Homosexual family" is an obvious oxymoron. Corrupting a friendship by a mutual indulgence in perverted acts can hardly provide a basis for sanctifying that friendship. All of the above is obvious to any rational person.

Just think. You'll be able to marry your kids and they'll get your social security benefits.

Homosexual Agenda ping -

more explanations of how "gay" marriage will contribute immeasurably to the destruction of what's left of a civilized country. (or world.)

Some people like the idea because they think it will usher in TEOTWAWKI, with the promise of a new dawn of libertarian phantasmagoria. Don't bet on it.

Let me know if anyone wants on/off this ping list. It be busy.
