I still want a different word for 'gay marriage'

so just because you're considering fraud means that a whole segment of the population should be prevented from exercising their desires?some of us are friends with the opposite sex. hey arach. want a navy federal account? we just have to throw down a few bucks on a contract and have it annulled after you set up the account. cheaper than most banks. i wish i could give you health insurance, but i lose that in september. but maybe we could get food stamps.

the constitution doesn't guarantee you the right to 'feel better' about things.it does, however guarantee all citizens to the equal protection of the law. and since everyone is so concerned about the protections of marriage, then those protections ARE GUARANTEED to gay people already. moralistic government officials simply have to stop denying them licenses.

then you aren't interested in a full and equal marriage with a different name. guess what. brown v board. we've already been through this. separate is inherently unequal. and you're clearly not interested in equal since you aren't interested in the scenario jar proposed.what you fail to realize is that gay people already have the right to marry. they are citizens and as citizens are entitloed to the fourteenth amendment protections. this guarantees them the right to equal protection of their marriages under the law. we don't have to redefine anything.btw. you'd probably have to pay alimony if you divorce your newly healthy biker buddy. i think that should be deterrent enough.

yes, it's the same. you go get a marriage license. you fill it out. you get it notarized. you turn it in. you're married. a notary public is all you need to get married. when my boyfriend's dad got married, his friend (a notary) married them. my boyfriend and i were the witnesses. you can get any old person to be your witnesses. you can get drunk people standing next to you to be your witnesses. that's how it works. now, i don't know if a pastor has to be a notary or if there is a special church registry that works a little differently. i've never gotten married. i have no idea.

hear hear!i want a new word for my "marriage" that doesn't include the long history of female subjugation.

yes, i suppose, but only to prove a point. some of us have opposite sex friends we wouldn't be opposed to 'marrying' for personal assistance. but it's still fraud. they didn't outlaw opposite sex marriage because it allowed for fraud, so they shouldn't do this for same sex marriage. it's a separate standard and thus unequal.of course, you can get a navy federal account simply by being my roommate for six months or more.

well, i don't actually want to marry you.

i have a boy. he's somehow less lazy than you
