Here's the problem as I see it, and I believe is a major factor in many gays and lesbians case for equal marriage.  The marriage laws of this country and all its states provide for many rights and privileges to the married couple.  They have different tax burdens, they have different inheritance rights, rights to make medical decisions for their spouse, have visitation rights when a spouse is in a hospital, even life and death decisions for their spouse, and many others.

I ask you Monique, are your beliefs such that these civil rights should be denied to a couple just because they don't happen to be composed of one man and one woman?

I support and believe any committed couple, no matter what gender each individual is, should have the same civil rights.  If you choose to not condone their "marriage" in your personal belief system, fine, but I think it is wrong to say, because of that belief, that these couples should not have the same civil rights and privileges.

I have not got a clear sense from your e-mails where you stand on the civil rights.  You obviously feel very strongly about your religious beliefs and in the bible, more power to you.  But do these beliefs say that these couples can not have the same privileges under the law?
