Austin opened a Little Can Of Worms, likely without meaning to. If you would, make any further comments here.

YES! Fear my can and all of it's worms! *puffs out chest* Really I would like to know what other people think about the issue, though you might want to inform them which can I opened.

Well, you know me - being the person I am, I feel that no family should be made to feel like less of an OK family structure JUST because something is different about it. I mean ... man/man, man/woman, woman/woman ... if there is love and commitment and honor there, they should be able to get married if they want to.

... one of my longest-running dreams is to get married. I don't know that I will ever end up with someone and end up in that sort of relationship... but if I do, or did at some point in life... I'd want to have all the same positive things given to straight couples.

I look at it this way... my love? It's no less special or worthy because it's directed at someone of the same gender. Nor is it any more special. It should all be the same.

Besides... the state of marriage today doesn't need protected, per say. It needs HELP. It needs work and improvement and ... yeah. Because too many people rush into it and then realize oh gosh, wrong person, huge mistake ... and instead of working it out, they get divorced. Or, for that matter, the marriages that end up in divorce because of an abuse problem... there's room for improvement here, instead of just making it look like it's all sunshine & flowers for everyone when it obviously ISN'T.

Okay, I'm really going to bed now. I don't want to argue about this - I know you and I have very different takes on the whole thing.

Yes, we have different opinions, rooted in different understandings of 'marriage' and what it means. I think we have the same concept of Love, and maybe even similar ends to that Love, but... -shrugs-

Anyways, my stance has ever been that I'd like to see you happy, and that being the case, I won't press my opinion here.
