Re: Redefining Marriage
... I was proposing two different types, one called a "union" (or any agreed upon label) and the other called a "marriage."
Separate but equal?

Holy Matrimony, Batman
... It's always been about destroying the institution of marriage ...
Curiously, I don't see any drop off in people getting married ... can you show any sudden drop off since this Supreme Court decision?
... and you can find gay activists saying that in so many words.
Please do so. (not holding my breath).
Perhaps you don't remember when this argument was supposedly all about the economic benefits of marriage ...
Indeed, AND how it was morally offensive to deny those benefits to a class of people, AND how that could only be guaranteed by including gay marriage in the human family of married people ... because anything less would be like the failed "Separate but equal" treatment of blacks at the beginning of the '60's civil rights movements. Because it never was equal.

Re: Holy Matrimony, Batman
Curiously you are nuts and a half to think anybody meant it would happen right away. Give it a generation.
Or wait for the second coming? It seems Christians are great at predicting things that never come to pass ... curiously I will wait for some evidence while enjoying the spectacularly gay drama of Christians weeping and moaning rending their clothes and dumping ashes on their heads.
HERE'S a Google page on the subject.
That all seems to involve one single individual who says that allowing two gays to marry is not going far enough. In articles written for gullible bigoted Christians ... I mean Glenn Beck ... really???
One person does not make a movement. Got anything else?
Blacks find the comparison offensive ...
Again: documentation? source?
Curiously I have seen blacks from the civil rights movement agree that this is discrimination against a class of people, that they are not being treated equally.

Re: Redefining Marriage
... For a second thing, silently "passing" or being in the closet has never been anything like an option for most black people. ...
But it is for some.
It is a curious thing about racial laws ... if you are part black and part white you are classed as "colored" (black\them). "mixed" is not a race choice.
As a result there are lots of shades of people out there that are called "black" ... and some can "pass for white" ... and do, and then you have the issue of coming out of the "closet" to being of mixed racial heritage -- and be classed as "black"
It is possible for a person to be of black, hispanic, native and white heritage -- and labels begin to fall apart.
