HB 444 Civil Unions

[Jon]

PaulW , yes, without their offspring you would not be here... thus they are special. I don't think I have said anyone should have special treatment. The USA is one county (if not the only one) on earth were the individual is the focus and not a group... but that could change in the next 4 to 8 years.

lostboystoy, Yes I chose to live straight.. I could chose to live as a gay man, but I would not like it so I chose to live they way I do. As far as I know I was born straight, but men do many things that they were not born to do. I have no issue with your preference in these things, none of my business. But the psychology of the choices that people make can and should be discussed.

Bob.... Marriage as the government sees it is not a "RIGHT" at all, if it were there would not be rules as to who can marry who. Marriage as the church see it is also not a right... more rules... The picking of a mate is not even a "RIGHT"... more rules... what if your choice of a mate does not want you? Is it still your "RIGHT" to take them?
"RIGHTS" are for individuals not couples or groups... at least "RIGHTS" in the USA are defined that way.
Government may allow you to marry, but they may also tell you "no you can't ".

I do not believe that America is better than everybody else...
America "IS" everybody else.
