Gay people are every where. I don't understand the same sex attraction, but.... Who cares? My kids tell me about gay students in their schools; they are very much aware of things, much more so than I am. It is what it is. I preach tolerance.

homosexual marriage heterosexual marriage, just an institution equal to marriage for the gays, civil unions, your religious values are yours, it's not for you to judge others..A committed union between two people makes for a more stable society..

How so?

If that is the case, then why not allow plural marriage then? After all it is not your place to judge.

To me, it's strictly an issue of access to hospital and hospice, inheritance and right to legal authority without a clearly defined will- but an assumed executor as surviving partner.
Our parents can hate our spouces but there is an assumed authority by being one and they don't have much to say over our estates vs. the surviving partner.
I have a gay friend that found himself on the curb with just a few clothes after his 10 year partner had a heart attack and his partner's family came in and kicked him out. He and his current partner now have been together for 7 years and recently purchased a house together.
Marriage is about love, promises, and monogomy. Who, that follows that thinks gay commitment is going to jeopardize "traditional" marriage? Maybe we should all try to learn more from those that have successful marriages.
We heteros can get married to a hooker in Vegas. What are we trying to protect?

Merely to try is to prepare for failure.

Part of me can't stand these flaming gays you see in Gay Pride parades on the other hand I've had to deal with a couple of gals at work who are living together in a stable relationship, admittedly lesbians..They're not bothering anyone, they work, pay tax, they keep thier property up, (stable society) why shouldn't they be allowed to have a civil union and the protections it provides?.
