Re: They look like a new boy band... but it's the world's first THREE-WAY same-sex ma
Your suggestion is akin to sheldons suggestion to build a new Jewish holy land in the middle of Mexico, good intentioned yet ignorant of the complexities of the issue.
The legal arguments concerning same sex marriage bans don't change by changing the name of legal marriage to civil unions, and the government could still restrict it in the same ways it currently does, even those that restrict it unfairly.
The only absurdity here is your rebuttal. I will re-state my position. I support marriage equality and I don't care who you ****, do "bolivian marching powder" with, or marry. It's none of my business.
I am also a strong belliever in this government is too large, to convoluted, and too complicated. One such way of simplification it to remove who the government can and can't say who is married, and call EVERYONE a civil union.
This does a couple things. one it takes the wind out of anti-gay marriage types, (100% of course not but it's a HUGE chunk). now you have "civil unions". states CANNOT deny ones partner from seeing thier loved ones as it would then violate the 14th amendment.
It's really quite simple, and this fascist style "BELEIEVE AS WE 100% or even though you support gay marriage, you are a homophobe bigot!!!!!" nonsense is the same intolerant crap, you are suppoosedly against.
