Difference of Opinion
"I am deeply disappointed that the effort to pass a constitutional amendment affirming the sanctity of marriage as being between a man and a woman was temporarily blocked in the Senate. Activist judges and local officials in some parts of the country are not letting up in their efforts to redefine marriage for the rest of America -- and neither should defenders of traditional marriage flag in their efforts." --President George W. Bush"
I do not agree with the president on this issue (as you all know there aren't many things that I disagree with the president on). I think that if two people choose to live together as a family they should be afforded all of the same breaks and opportunities of any heterosexual marriage.
This view of marriage as being one man and one woman is a religious view and has no business in politics. It shouldn't even have to be discussed. Our laws call for a clear seperation of Church and State. This is a religious point of view and nothing else. IF it makes the die hard religious circles feel better call it a union or something other than "marriage" but allow all of the same benefits.

I'm disappointed too, but it shouldn't take a constitutional amendment to right the wrongs of this country. There is and effort to do just that over at the Federalist, it is a petition to amend the constitution to force congress to take action and remove activist judges who legislate from the bench,
that would go farther towards protecting this nation than just the marriage amendment that they can write laws around. http://patriotpetitions.us/amendment28/
I think a legal civil union would suffice, but it is telling that the homosexual faction insists that it be called a marriage and won't settle for the same privalages thing under a different name, it tells me that they just wish to push it in the faces of the majority as a demonstration of judicial power. Law shouldn't be written by judges, it should only be arbitrated by them.
All privaleges given married couples can ALREADY be afforded same sex couples through legal means already. They just wish to gain those privaleges without doing the extrea work. They already have the same rights as I do, they can marry a woman too.
