Being as respectful as possible here....we have so much more at stake here. For hundreds of years, gay people have been opressed, humiliated, hunted and murdered (yes, even in present day America). You will need to forgive the lack of respect, and the pointing of fingers at the obvious targets. Your 'legitimate' concerns as you refer to them echo the 'purity' of not letting interracial couples marry for 'legitimate' reasons. Don't think this is a half assed request, disregarding the well being of others. It is the product of so many influences...from the afformentioned bigotry, to the self consuming gay culture that has festered in the absence of legitimicy.
We want equality. Your marriage wont be any more or less than it already is by letting me and my boyfriend marry. It will merely allow us to address eachother as equals.
There you go again,acting like only gays are persecuted.
Scuse me for saying, give me a break.
Christians are still persecuted to this day. Many put to death for our beliefs. Heck, Christians can't even go to certain countries without fear of death. I knew a guy that went on a missions trip to the Middle East but only a couple people knew his exact location. If the wrong people found out, then he could have easily been killed.
It's a rented tux ok? I'm not going comando in another man's fatigues.
