Originally posted by lazs2 sirloin.... I have no idea what your point is. marriage is not a human right. As such... laws can be made about it so long as everyone is equal under the law.It is an institution that treats everyone the same. There are rules however. the rules are based on what the people paying the price think is worth rewarding.One of those rules is that the marriage consist of a man and a woman together and faithful. everyone is able to participate. I am single and do not want to get into that kind of a relationship so... I am just as "discriminated" against as any gay person... in fact.... more so... many gays can and have had married relationships with the opposite sex.By your reasoning... no one could own property simply because they could afford it.... if titles to property were given out they would have to be given out equaly to everyone.Good idea or bad.... marriage between man and a woman is what was the rule allmost everyone wanted... if gays want a marriage and the benifiets then they need to get their own form or.... put it up to the people to vote on. It is not a right and it is not a discrimination.I will be glad to discuss the very simple facts of this with you in private if you are unable to understand what I have written here.lazs
