How do I get on the list? I want to be on that list.
It doesn’t make any difference if Bush is to blame. Obama said he would fix things and he hasn’t fixed things.

The equality upon which gay marriage advocates base their claim is a moral one, that same-sex couples are MORALLY equal to opposite-sex couples and therefore, should have all the rights and privileges of the latter. While that is open to debate, it is not on that basis that marriage is established.

Marriage is established on the basis of the practical EFFECT that opposite-sex couples have on society, which is procreation, and not on the moral status of the opposite-sex relationship. It is apparent to all that same-sex couples have no similar practical effect. In terms of any legitimate or important governmental interest, same-sex couples are equivalent to good friends who share lodgings and expenses. And that’s all.

Gays want to change the basis of marriage from a purely pragmatic one to a moral one. The foolishness of that, however, is that It can then be argued that all relationships are morally equivalent. Should government now arbitrate morality making moral distinctions among relationships and discriminate on that basis? Perhaps one might see the many pitfalls and disadvantages to this approach. It would be best to apply only the pragmatic standard and leave moralizing to the theologians and the philosophers.
