Look at what your saying. Just as I have every opportunity, as does anyone else...homosexuals included. I think that I said something akin to this back on wotmania. Nothing is saying that a person who identifies themself as homosexual cannot marry. It is saying that they can't marry someone of their own gender. I've stated many times before that marriage is not completely/nor has it always been about love. There are many people who are married who do not love each other...or those who enter into the marriage not in love but infatuation. Whatever. The point is, we each have the opportunity to marry.

Again...what you are describing...all those advantages, benefits, and everything else are not rights. I stated in one of my posts that my younger brother lives with me. It would be of great advantage if I could put him on my medical insurance, that we could get the tax breaks, and everything else. But it doesn't work that way.

The entire thing here was about whether or not the government should recognize this partnership as being legitimate. To that end, the government asked the people if they should recognize that relationship as legitimate. The people said no.....Twice. Every singe thing that you mentioned is not something which is a right. This isn't a civil rights debate. Its a debate on whether or not a chosen relationship should be considered legitimate. Its not about skin color. Its not about gender. Its not about where a person is from. Its not about a person's religion (something chosen by the individual...interestingly enough). Its about a person's sexual preference.
