It's simply not equal rights. Straight people just get married. Gay people now need all kinds of joint property contracts and wills and blah blah blah, all kinds of legal hoops to jump through, just for being born different. Now if religions want to be bigoted as all hell and give certain people more hoops, that's fine. The law isn't supposed to do that.


I was asking why anyone should be married by the government ... how is that not inherantly equal?


The government (state government in the US) issues marriage licenses. They issue all kinds of licenses. Uhm... I'm not sure what your question is exactly. I'm not following your train of thought here. Help me out HappySqurriel.

What if some church wants to marry gay people? Like a Unitarian Church. Those guys will do anything.  Also, while you can attribute "marriage" to the catholic church.  It's not like it was a europeon invention.  Europeon name sure... but plenty of other people got married all over the world just with different names.

Well, almost anything.
