ParticipantHarryBosch,
Good points about the word “should”. That is why I freely admitted that I was not the know-all sage on this topic! Mostly I don’t care about “shoulds” in other people’s lives. I certainly don’t have all the answers and never claimed that I did. Perhaps I “should” have used a different word. ha! I guess my point was that I would wish for it not to be about what is moral or not moral in the bedroom, and more about ensuring a civil right for consenting adults.
This is a difficult topic. Most things in life are simply not black or white. This is why those of us on this site and in many other arenas of life go back and forth ad nauseum on this and other issues. My response may have been an emotional one, but it at least is an emotional response that is inclusive.

ParticipantI could be wrong, but isn’t one of the arguments against gay marriage that it “harms the sanctity of marriage” … well, wasn’t Massachusetts the first state to allow gay marriage? And doesn’t Massachusetts have the lowest rate of divorce in the country? Yep it sure does.
Guess which states have the highest divorce rates?
Wyoming, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Nevada.
Not exactly hotbeds of ‘the liberal gay lifstyle’ …
Just sayin’…

ParticipantGood point about slippery slope argument. That’s a long the same line republicans use with regards to Obama’s capital gain tax increase. If he increase one, he’ll increase them all. See how stupid that argument is? Even though it might make sense to some.
