"When you meet the required parameters, you are able to get married. That makes it a right." When you meet the required parameters you are able to form contractual unions, marriage being the term that identifies certain hetro unions. Gays have the same right. Marriage is a term, the rights that are afforded to heteros are available to gays too, no discrimination at all. No those rights are not available to gays. They are not recognized as family by the IRS, by hospitals, by employers, by health insurers etc. "It means you less are not ready to accept it. False. I accept gays and other sorts of unions, I just don't have a political agenda attached like you do. Marriage is a term specific to hetros. No it isn't. Through history, marriage has had a much narrower definition than it has now. As we have become less discriminating, that definition had broadened. When/if that changes it will simply mean the same legally as civil union does now. It gives gays nothing they are denied currently. It removes from hetros part of their identity. Very political, resentful, and mean spirited agenda directed at straights. Nothing more to it. Please. You're making me cry. Grow up! You able to get that link for me yet? Easy to do if it exists. Or uh, might you have been mistaken? What the hell are you talking about now?
