[Bustem' Down]

But the court left it to hte legislature to determine whether the state will honor gay marriage or some other form of civil union.

Hooray for the homos. I say let them be, for every homo with a mate, thats 1 less homo bothering you. Although 2 fat bald guys making out is kinda gross, but face facts guys, if it were 2 hot babes kissing, you would be all for it.

actually, they said that same sex couples have the same rights as healthy normal married couples.

exactly what RIGHTS do we gain by being married?

not privilages, but rights. there is a difference.

I didnt know that the constitution had a special section for married couples only. I thought the rights were given to every individual regardless of marriage.

so, again.
what RIGHTs in the constitution apply only to married couples.

The right to social security benefits
The right to be covered as a "spouse" under medical plans so it is cheaper.

Mostly financial stuff but mainly it legitimizes homosexuality.

it would make me happy to be allowed to run down the street naked with a feather duster up my butt quacking like a duck.

are my rights being violated? should I contact the ACLU?
