LindaBee,
I believe in some parts of the south a 15 year old can marry a much older man if she has her parents permission. People in the fringe mormon religions are polygomists and do marry ( not legally but in some cermoney religious cermony) off very young girls. I do not think it is right. I would not let my own daughter get married at that age, but I don't believe she would want to.
I really don't have a problem with people not aggreeing with gay marriage. I for one would get a civil union if I got the same rights as married people. (ie: Tax benefits, hospital visitation, Social Security, etc...) I do not care what it is called.
I don't think you can compare sex with animals with sex with another human being. I think if two humans want to have sex and are of the legal age that is their business. Animals should be protected as they have no voice. Your comparisons LindaBee are rather rediculous.
It must be a scarry time for Right Wingers seeing gayness being accepted more and more. People pretty soon just are not going to think about it when the see to gay couples together.
I do not think sex in public is going to be legal for gays or straights. Give me a break. I will say however, there are just as many straight couples having sex in public as gay couples. Probably more.
