I honestly do not care if someone is homosexual or heterosexual. I told my childhood friend when he came out to me in high school that I could give a rats ass. I got beat up in high school twice because he was my friend. I have a lot of gay male friends and my wife has a lot of gay female friends. All of which consider us "Family". My childhood friend was the best man at my wedding.
Because I don't care about anyone's sexuality I believe that this bill is one of the most ridiculous pieces of legislation I have ever heard of. Really, why do we need this legislation in order for everyone to be treated equally under the law? If we apply our laws equally to all we would not feel the need to pass such a bill. If homosexuals want to have civil unions and the law prevents this then we need to re-word the law to not exclude them. I'll support this bill if it is the only way to allow equal treatment under the law but really I think it would make a bigger impact if the bill just re-words whatever law prohibits civil unions to homosexuals. Why? Because if this bill just overrides the current law then the current law as it is written is still on the books. It doesn't go away. Maybe it sounds like semantics to some but to me but I am a firm believer in all laws being applied equally to all. JMHO
