I don't assume any such thing. You pretend I do as a means of dodging a scary question. No doubt it appears so to people devoid of substance. Why it would appear so to you I leave as an open question to those who don't know already.
Legally speaking gay marriage and straight marriage are the exact same thing. Gays do not get anything that straights don't and straights don't get anything gays don't.
You can as much ask why the law had changed to allow different races to marry and not the rest of us. The key factor is that only same sex marriage limitations were challanged in court. The cou I am at a bit of a loss here. Are you saying that you want to be a to marry a close relative? Otherwise, you are able to marry and there is no rest of us. The way your statement is written, it implies that gays can get married and straights cannot. Additionally, both gays and straights are prohibited by law from marrying close relatives, in some states even if it is only legally related with no actual blood ties. So I am still unsure of what it is gays are getting that others are not
Yes, I want to marry someone I am in a long term committed relationship to. I want the same tax breaks as gay people get in recognition for being in a long term committed relationship. I don't see why them being gay earns them more civil rights than being in a family does. I don't view that as equality. I view that as special treatment based solely on their sexuality. So yes, the law was changed. But it wasn't changed to bring equality to all. It was changed to benefit a special interest group only.
First off, start with clicking on "Reply" in the lower right of the post you are responding to. This allows us to not only know who you are responding to, but also gives us the quote for context. Secondly, you failed to answer my question clearly, so I will present it as a choice. Are you: A) wanting to legally marry someone (same or opposite sex) who is blood related or otherwise legally related to you, such that current law prevents it? B) wanting to legally marry of the opposite sex who currently holds no blood or legal relationship to you? You also have yet to tell us what rights gays have that others do not.
For some reason when doing this from my phone, it cut off part of the post, and I have just noticed it. That part was supposed to note that the courts cannot strike down a law until it is challenged and it cannot be challenged unless the government (whatever level the law came from) tries to apply it to a person.
What are asking exactly? I note that you quoted my post but said nothing in reply, in this post of yours: http://www.politicalforum.com/index...t-gay-marriage.512210/page-41#post-1069543337
