When you say pushing gay marriage what you are saying is really denying a group their civil rights.

Do you know for instance that married couples get tax breaks ?

Do you know that when a property is sold that the tax break for a married couple on capital gains is $ 500.000

Do you know that when a husband or wife die the property passes to the living spouse... no tax involved.

When a same sex couple living together for 50 years will have to pay tax on the entire inheritance. BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT MARRIED.

When a married spouse enters the hospital visitation rights are given. A same sex couple the one partner can be forbidden to see the other by family. In one instance I know the parents of one of the two kicked the partner out of the house and denied visitation rights to the partner who was dying. The surviving partner never even got to say good-bye.

There is something about fairness here and rights for every human being and Americans.

Marriage is NOT threatening the marriage of anyone. It is just a right that all couples who love one another should have under the aegis of nothing more than Civil Rights.

IMHO only.
