re: Actress Ellen Page: "I am gay"[W:1222]
What exactly does Marriage offer a couple that you cannot have in a Civil Union?
Then you're completely out of touch with their daily lives, also not surprising. Let's look at CA since you keep pointing to a ballot from 2008 like it means anything: Marriage vs. Civil Union or Domestic Partnership | Freedom to Marry
For one, civil unions aren't recognized federally! There goes 1000+ rights. Next, tell this guy there's no diff between civil union and marriage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pR9gyloyOjM
Now at Oregon, a state that will likely legalize SSM in the next year:
"Oregon's domestic partnership law went into effect in February 2008. However, as with civil union the status remains a separate and unequal legal compromise which does not apply when a couple travels out of state, and offers no federal protections....Many domestic partnership registries offer no rights or protections at all and simply serve as a written acknowledgment of a couple's commitment to each other."
What this boils down to is you clearly believe that homos are inferior, so basic rights and dignity are of far less significance than that every american bow down before you(r god) on this matter, thus you lumping it with abortion of all absurdities. You really may as well just let loose with what you really think. Let those insults fly
