Re: Hatred?
I am sorry dan, but unequal and different just aren't the same words.
Not when you're using "different" as a way of segregating a minority. "Different" schools for blacks and whites are inherently unequal. "Different" categories for the unions of heterosexuals and homosexuals are inherently unequal.
I never said I would outlaw it. I have changed enough through discussions in here that I would be willing to accept a civil union.
The second sentence here contradicts the first. Pick one.
Well, I think that is just not fair for me then.
Because I did not get treated that way in my separation.
That's unfortunate. But I don't see what it has to do with gay marriage.
I already gave Re: Hatred? (Message 230) an answer.
No you didn't. You just said that, the rules aside, the man gets shafted in practice. If both were men, or both were women, I fail to see how this would be relevant.

It's Champaign-Urbana. Nowhere near as classy as Champagne.

Re: Hatred?
That is a bad comparison, it really doesn't apply.
Why not? Both are bullshit arbitrary distinctions designed to keep the minority segregated away from the majority.
We cannot prove the same for homosexuals, it's a choice.
It is? Well, there's an easy way to test that idea. Choose to be aroused by men. Will your penis hard at the sight of a guy. Be sure to report back to us on how hot it was.
Even if I am wrong about that, there is no need for different schools for blacks and whites, they can all function in the same school.
There is no need for different institutions for homosexual and heterosexual unions. They can all function in the same institution called marriage.
Let me rephrase that:
"Different" categories for the unions of heterosexuals and homosexuals are inherently different, but equal.
Oh, my turn! "Nuh-uh!"
That was fun.
