I don't understand the reason why so many get so weird about homosexuality (among adults). Why on earth would anyone care who puts what in whom and when? For someone to be spouting off about this says more about them than the issue itself.

Now if you are talking about people doing in front of open living room windows, I'd say, as a matter of public policy, it is probably not something you want people doing (heterosexuals or homosexuals and even by themselves). That is already prohibited for everyone.

Beyond that, if the government is going to give its blessings to unions, then they probably have to give blessings to all unions or stop blessing unions that are based upon religion alone (that gets dangerously close to establishment of religion, prohibitted by the First Amendment).

The good news is that if the U.S. Government stops recognizing marriage, and views all existing marriages as civil contracts between affected parties, that will end joint filing. We all can file as individuals. That certainly solves the marriage penalty now doesn't it?
