If homosexuals want a legal union that is fine by me but they can leave the word marriage out of it. Marriage is already taken and means a union between a male and a female. Homosexuals can find their own word to describe their union.

They already have taken the word 'gay' to describe homosexuals and now only want the word marriage in effort to get some respect for their sexual activities.

"If homosexuals want a legal union"

Those who presume to know what is best for homosexuals and everyone else have already passed laws to regulate homosexual relationships. 'Relationship' being the politically correct term.

While previously gays have been adult and able to sort their living and leaving arrangements, they must now rely on government bureaucrats, lawyers and courts to inform them of the status of their private affairs. The lawyers are laughing all of the way to the bank.

Those who always presume to know what is best for everyone including gays of course, stated that in exchange for 'recognition' gays should be happy with State regulation of their private affairs and bureaucratic intrusions into their private living arrangements. So much for that outlaw lifestyle!

BTW, in the interests of transparency of policy, what is the latest number of homosexual couples registered with Social Security and what are the savings in dollars?

Banjo,

You are right, they already have legal, State sanctioned common law relationships ('relationship' - feminist new speak).

All that remains is to find a new word to describe their unions. However the feminists and 'Progressives' have already decided that too haven't they? It is 'relationships'.

So, 'Gay Relationship' it is. (Non existing) 'Problem' solved. QED (quite easily done)

Paul1405, Your reasoning is so infantile it is ridiculous. No person denies a disabled child a cake. Disability is not a matter of conscience.

' No person denies a disabled child a cake. Disability is not a matter of conscience.'

well Josepus, I wish you were right but many check to make sure baby has no disability before deciding whether to give birth or terminate.

Dear runner,
