You are fighting for a definition of marriage, and berating others for fighting for thier's.

I don't believe you think much of marriage, so why bother. Get right to the heart of it. Say what your thinking, marriage doesn't have a place in this society, and then argue that.

I was wondering....are you married?

I am, and have been for quite some time. Was married by my mother(ordained) and have a wonderful life with great kids and government supported benefits. What a sweet life it is.
As I also have friends who are of different sexual orientation than myself, I would very much like them to enjoy such a pleasant life, and be recognized by society as having the rights, and responsibilities that I enjoy.

Guess this is simply too much to ask.
