Homosexuals are not married. They are partners of a different kind, like
room mates, or other kind of sex partner but can not legally enter into

the
marriage contract. They have rights as individual but not as a couple

who
is
in a marriage contract between a man and a woman. It has to do with a

legal
contract. The contract says between a man and a woman.


I don't think that is being questioned. The issue is that same-sex

couples
SHOULD have the right to enter into the same contract. It's simply a

legal
matter. If churches don't want to "marry" same-sex couples, that's their
business. Remember, at one time marriage was only open to two white

people
of opposite genders. People in mixed race marriages were criminals in

many
states. People saw that as a partnership of a different kind. Things
change.



It's appalling that on the spectrum of things which truly threaten this
country, some people think someone else's sexuality is more important than
the fact that most shipping containers entering our ports could be filled
with nuclear weapons and we'd be none the wiser. But, I guess they're right.
I had a gay neighbor. He forgot to mow his lawn once before he left on
vacation. Years later, the children in the neighborhood are still in
therapy, some unable to speak or function in school.
