That's the point. <br /><br />Broadly speaking, if my marriage is to be forcibly "unionized", why shouldn't everyone's? Are you implying that my marriage is "less than" a straight marriage, and therefore still "different"? Are you saying that "I think that gays should be able to marry, but if they can't, oh well so sad too bad,but don't touch my straight marriage"? So much for solidarity, eh? Now you know how it feels.<br /><br />Moreover, it would certainly expose the canard that civil unions are equal--or it would force them to become equal.<br /><br />the court is on record as saying that gay people cannot be treated differently than straight people. The "people" have said marriage is only male-female. Ergo, the only logical solution is to treat everyone the same and eliminate marriage for everyone. I doubt it will happen, but it has a certain justice to it.<br /><br />either we are equal under the eyes of the law, or we aren't.IThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09605163506396013904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238382886103256219.post-15563984135492576482009-05-23T05:02:33.845-07:002009-05-23T05:02:33.845-07:00((IT))
