The difference is that you have a right your fellow citizen is being denied simply because of their gender preference. Which sounds like a perfect addition to: "May not be discriminated against due to race, religion, color, or creed." There's no need to have 2 marriages unless there's a need to 2 water fountains which, of course, there isn't. If we're "protecting marriage" why not only allow hispanics to marry? After all, they have the lowest divorce rate. The government should have no say in who I choose to marry and that should be anyone I care to as long as that person is an adult of sound mind. Civil unions is like saying this: "You've complained because even though you and I do the exact same job you get paid 50% less. I'll tell you what: how about if you only get paid 40% less?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:156825 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
