If there was no difference, then why weren't they content with civil unions?

How many folks "out there" thought there might be a "gay gene" in the first place?

Aside from the vast "born that way" crowd?

I don't think "born that way" is the same as believing there is a "gay gene".
I doubted there would be a "gay gene" that was obviously detectable in the genome. It really makes little sense there would be one.
But I realize a lot of folks are a bit hazy on genetic theory etc.

I was never really thrilled with civil unions, but I canâ€t stop people from entering into a contract to divie up their property when they pass, etc...  Now wording might seem trivial to some, but marriage is a biblical sacrament, so...
As far as churches go, some will perform gay weddings.  Theyâ€re wrong and hopelessly naive and stupid for doing so, but they are a “private†entity if you will, so be it.  I personally donâ€t want our society putting the stamp of approval on gay “marriage.† Now as Iâ€ve said in the past I am all for getting the govt out of the marriage business.  So if your “church†is willing to do your wedding thatâ€s their deal.  As an American I want my hands washed of this lunacy.

I've mentioned before that in France they have "civil unions" at the local "Maire", THEN after that you can have a church wedding if you want.
Step 2 has zero "force of law". Step 1 is all you need. Makes sense to me.

Because there is a difference. Nobody wants to be treated like a 2nd class citizen. The whole 'separate but equal' thing has already been tried and failed.
Who needs a parade? Protected class types. Who needs a
month? Protected class types. Seems the protected class types are making everybody else 2nd class.Â
I don't care what a person's sexual preference is, his skin color, or anything else. I only seem to notice when that person shouts it at the top of his lungs for me to notice. Then I hope that person gets what he wishes on others not like himself.
DC is a symptom, not the cause. The cause is basic voter stupidity and economic ignorance.
