Aineo,
I was not taking about interstate. My partner and I live in the same home. We have to pay for an attorney to draw up papers in order for him to get my estate. A married straight couple who lives next store to me does not. Therefore I am out a bunch of money that the married couple next store is not. This is not fair. I want equal rights. Not special rights.
Why do you say marriage is a moral issue not a legal one. I have to disagree. I would not get married in a church. I would get married in a civil ceremony. This is a civil righs issue. You can bring up that homosexuality is not genetic, and I can say the opposite, but the fact is neither of us has any definitive proof. Both arguments are hypothesis, and there are studies supporting both positions.
I think whether homosexuality if genetic or not is irrelevent, as I am talking about human rights. Gay or not you cannot argue that I am human.
My question again though. Why do you care about gay marriage when it really does not concern you anymore, as I know you are not a practicing homosexual?
