>In the same manner that marriage for heterosexual or homosexual couples is not a constitutional right, abortion is not a constitutional right either.< Does this mean that you believe that government's role should begin and end with the Constitution? Marriage, be it traditional or other, is not covered by the Constitution. But marriage is a civil union with legal consequences, e.g. taxation and estate. Is there any reason/excuse for government to hold gay couples who seek both the benefits and responsibilities of a civil union to hold them to a second standard? I would like to see such couples granted access to the same rights and duties we now accord traditional hetero couples. Without involving the Constitution (unless one wishes to advance the odious argument that gays are not full citizens!) I see no barrier to treating homosexual couples, male or female, as entitled to the same rights and duties as the rest of us. I don't see how any other position would advance the cause of civil liberty. <edit> Brumar89, are you and "walterm" the same person?
