[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really don't get the defense I'm seeing: "I'm not a bigot!  I have no problem with gays!  I just don't like gay [i]marriage[/i]!"  Why do people think that that isn't discriminatory?  "I'm not prejudiced!  I think you're [i]mostly[/i] people!"  How is that any different than "I have no problem with Jews!  I just don't think they should be allowed to marry outside their religion!"[/quote]

I agree.  I think people who oppose gay marriage fail to grasp the basic rights long-term gay couples cannot enjoy- adoption, medical decision making, joint filing of taxes, and shared wealth.  Its as though legal gay marriage will suddenly create millions of homosexuals when in reality, it just recognizes the reality that millions of gay people are in committed, long-term relationships (often with children) without equal legal protection.

You are incorrect about all these points. Simple legal documents fix these issues. I am heterosexual and married, yet was able to act as the medical decision maker for acfroend having surgery. I signed a form and so did he prior. My mother was in a car accident and the hospital at first refused information to my father due to HIPPA - 50 year marriage. [/quote]
