"I think the slippery slope is imaginary in this case. Marriage, in the eyes of the government is nothing more than a civil contract. "
Then why in the hell aren't people protesting for civl contracts? Marriage is different is some manner. Maybe a purely psychological perception. "Minors cannot legally enter into contracts, therefore the NAMBLA argument is moot." Not so fast. Adults with an IQ of 80 can enter into contracts. Is it right that a minor of 17 with a 120 IQ can't enter in a contract? "Let's melt that slippery slope, though - 'marriage', in the eyes of the government, should be a contract between 2 consenting adults. " Sure. And if it were called a civil union, this shit would have been over with a long time ago. "Simple, really." Yes, it should be simple in the eyes of the government. What is not simple is how to deal with people's perceptions of gay marriage. By what standard are you measuring the standard they have. State after state have shot down gay marriage. The standard then at this point is against gay marriage. That makes support of gay marriage a minority view. How is support for gay marriage right? By what standard? You don't think that is tricky?
