Frank you got a second vote from me for that post. And Duchess, I am 100% in agreement with you. I was participating in the same subject on 24, which I rarely do there, and I'm going to post my words here from there. They kind of say what Maggot is thinking and how you can see it's not right.
You know I really cannot understand why anyone has a problem with this. Why shouldn't gay people be allowed to legally marry?
I think it has so much less to do with religious nut job morality than it does with insurance companies hands in governmental pockets.
Yep, why? Because if gays can legally be a couple then insurance companies need to give medical and health, life and other insurances as if it were a FAMILY and not write on individual single person premiums. This is big money. I bet their prejudices go so far as to think if they did do this their odds on paying for deadly diseases are far greater because they're gay. Stupid but I'm betting true.
Certain states have the option of allowing employers to set up health insurance to their employees so that live in partners can get insurance or opt out and only allow legally married couples.
Insurance companies are nothing more than glorified gambling operations and they take chances on every premium they sell. Why should they lower the odds out of their favor? They're already fixing the game with straight people and pushing the odds in their favor now.... I know this first hand from the BS I went through this year with my homeowners insurance.
Anyone who's sitting around thinking of what goes on in a gay couple's bedroom "imagining" what disgusts you, well I'm sorry, but you're sickly obsessing on this.
What the fuck do you care? Really? How you say you want equal rights and equal treatment for all and then say one group of people cannot marry because it "disgusts you" with the things they do in public?
Being a hairdresser I know / knew plenty of gay couples, singles and couples with kids and I can assure you that there are more "normal" "behaving" and "looking" gay people out there raising families than there are the flamboyant boisterous types.
How can people walk around looking at others and 'classify' them as this or that? It's beyond me. It's sick.
Thank God that for all her faults, my mom did not raise me to be prejudiced in any way, shape or form. I cannot go out into the world looking at someone and obsess over what they might do in their private lives by the color of their skin or sexual preference or occupation etc!
