I really don't see why people are so against gay marriage AND gay civil unions. Firstly, if gays are such a small minority, what POSSIBLE impact could this have on our country or businesses? Lets say a company has 100 workers. 98 of these workers are strait, and married, some of which have children. All 98 of these people recieve extra benefits for them, their spouse, and their children. Lets say that one of the remaining two workers was gay, and the final remaining one was black skinned. The gay man/woman has a spouse, and a child (a child? how can a gay have a child? maybe he/she *gasp* had sex with someone of the opposite sex and produced a child, or had a child then got divorced, or had been artificially inceminated). This person is DENIED special care for his spouse and child. Would it REALLY cost that much to add one more family to this benefits list when you already have 98% of your workers recieving it? "NO, you CAN'T have this because you're SLIGHTLY different from these 98 people over here." How is there no outrage? Now lets say that That one remaining worker, the black skinned worker, also had a spouse (of the opposite sex) and a child. If this one person is DENIED medical care just because he was black skinned, just because he was SLIGHTLY different from the other 98 workers recieving benefits, do you think there would be outrage? You're damn right there would be. How is that one case any different from the gay man/woman's? Just because this person's spouse (that you'll probably never see at work) is of the same sex?

Should it be illegal for gays to get jobs? I mean, it seems, no one wants to see "them" benefiting in any way. Why give "them" jobs at all? You wont have to work next to that "fag" or hear them talk about their "fag" spouse. Their child must be a "fag" too because you can't live with a "fag" w/o becoming one, right?
