    My intent is to live my life legally wed to my partner. That should really not even concern you, as it does not effect you.

    Exactly. So look at a marriage license. The application of this law allows people to legally live together and gain certain governmental privileges. That is all.

    Your constant demeaning of the love between same sex partners negates any other argument or opinion you have.

    You choose to belittle the love of millions of people because of your own bias and hate.

    You have no credibility.

    Its been decades since any state required a marriage license for a man and woman to live together. And one has NEVER been required for two people of the same sex to live together.

    And only the right wingers are claiming that procreation is the only purpose of marriage.

    Did you have trouble understanding one sentence?? Maybe that is why it is so hard to discuss with you. You missed "governmental priviledges". try again.

    "Homosexual couples DEMAND this status because they rub genitals and bring each other to orgasm, just like a real mom and dad. AS IF the rubbing of genitals and orgasms are why heterosexual couples have held an elevated status for thousands of years."

    Direct quote from Dixon

    Same sex couples feel the same love and committment as heterosexual couples. They create a family, just as heterosexual couples do. Some choose to have children, just as heterosexual couples do.

    To reduce their love to just sex is wrong, false and demeaning.

    People of a wide variety of possible combinations feel love and commitment for each other. Nothing special about those who happen to be homosexual. Well, other than the fact they rub genitals just like a real mom and dad.

    People of a wide variety of possible combinations create families, nothing special about those who happen to be homosexual.

    Sooooo it DOESNT allow "people to legally live together and gain certain governmental privileges" and in fact merely allows them to "gain certain governmental privileges". Like I said.

    The purpose of licensing and regulating marriage is because of procreation. Individual couples marry for a wide variety of different reasons.

    Only conservatives are claiming that the only purpose of licensing marriage is procreation, despite the fact that marriage laws are widely aimed at protecting the individuals within that marriage, even after divorce.

    No one has claimed that, but the fact is that marriage license is a set of restrictions imposed on relationship between a man and a woman. Homosexual couples do not need such restrictions, that means no special licensing and regulation is required for those couples.

    There's just as much reason to restrict 7 year old Timmy from marrying, whether he's gay or straight.​

    Other then moral reason (which does not exist anymore according to gay community) no technical or biological reason if he marries person of the same sex.

    You're seriously saying there is no reason to prevent someone from marrying a 7 year old if the kid can't get pregnant?​

    A regular contract between two people would do that. A man cant agree by contract to be the father of any child his wife bears.

    Homosexual couples should be allowed to marry legally. It is as clear as that.

    A contract cannot provide protection from double taxation through inheritance when a person's assets are automatically added to community property by common law. A contract cannot provide protection from legal skirting of the 5th amendment by subpoenaing a person's spouse.

    Even if they could, it is unconstitutional to deny these legal protections to one couple while providing them to another, for no reason other than prejudice against a couples gender.​

    I have no idea why 7 year old should not get equal rights if marriage is about equal rights.

    In America, we deny many rights to minors. This is necessary because minors lack the experience to make adult judgement, the fiscal means to accept adult responsibilities, and maturity to handle adult relationships and manage adult commitments.

    I strongly encourage you to stay away from children until you have properly researched this issue.​

    Because they cannot make informed decisions. Not at 7 anyway. You can get legally emancipated at 16 I think, which gives you all the rights an adult has.

    Isn't a marriage license a set of rights held by the couple and other rights held by each individual within the marriage? What restrictions are you talking about?
