I think that's reasonable.

    If only there were a way to eliminate the religious and societal impact of marriage from this debate and still offer these rights. For example, it should be that all 'traditional marriages' should work as civil unions in the eye of the law / government, and that gays and straight couples who want to can just get a civil union (with proof of commitment) to provide the same advantages as traditional couples. I may be misusing the term civil union but hopefully you guys catch my drift.
    First of all, that gangsta is looking at me pretty hard. He about to get smoked. >

    I think that's reasonable too.

    I think you can eliminate a lot of that stuff by compromising as you suggest. It all seems to get hung up on a single word.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Exactly...great point. This is happening all over, and in my mind at least gay marriage is a very minor concern compared to this.

    A traditional marriage would be between a male and a female. It is based on the perspective of all of recorded history. I can't think of any society that married same sex couples. This is true even of societies more open to homosexuality like ancient Greece.

    I agree. The burden of persusaion is on the shoulders of gay activists. Moreover, I wonder if they would accpet a simple compromisde: you get all the privileges of marriage but under a different name.
    Fair enough. How about mayridge? Gayridge?
