Re: Just take "marriage" out of the law

Would you want any of your children to turn out gay?
To be honest, no. But, the only reason for that is because I wouldn't want them to have to deal with people like you every day of their lives. This kind of "I'm not a bigot, I stand for the family" line is the kind of covert bigotry that has been breeding for decades.
I'd rather assume that a gay person hasn't had a choice in their sexual preference. Why? Because if I'm wrong, then who cares. If, on the other hand, you're wrong, you've just screwed someone over because you felt what they were doing wasn't "natural".
As for leaving marriage to the church, the horse has already left the barn. The government is already hip deep in marriage, and as we are unable to go back and change that, we have to deal with it. As such, it most definitely is a necessity for the government to legalize gay marriage, because not doing so is unconstitutional.
You can stamp your feet and scream all you want, but you have absolutely no legal grounds to stand on at this point. The government backed itself into this corner.
