When I got home I started to think.....the real reason why the radical religious right-wing opposes gay marriage has to do with perpetuating stereotypes and keeping people like my friends out of the public eye. If America began to see that gay couples are not unlike heterosexual couples, they will begin to see that the right-wing has lied to them and may question what other lies the right-wing perpetuates. They would prefer to promote the image that gay men and women are super-sexualized, leather clad, drug-using athiests.
Both homosexuals and heterosexuals run the gamut of behaviors...but lets realize what is really going on with the right-wing's efforts to demonize gay marriage.

Should the tax payers be responsible for all the benefits that would be handed to this farmer and his bride, like the agricultural funding of a more modernized love suite up in the hay loft?

Interesting article:alphamale said:"Gay marriage remains a divisive issue, with 51 percent opposing it, the poll by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press found."

Yaaaaa ..... 51% of Americans are the "radical rightwing".
So are the numbers skewed or are viewpoints changing?Gay marriage remains a divisive issue, with 51 percent opposing it, the poll by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press found. But almost two-thirds, 63 percent, opposed gay marriage in February 2004.
Why do people care about gay marriage. Who does it hurt? Oh thats right, NO ONE!

But it effects everone.
There's no question that when you start treating people equally, those who used to get the preferential treatment are affected.
Can I ask you which effects you are concerned about?
Ivan The Terrible said:millsy,
Just economic effects. Like I said, if the government stayed out of people's affairs there would be no debate.
