Debating the finer points of the law and morality doesn't really have to play into gay marraige, Under our govt. it makes sense... "life, liberty, and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS!" Even if that happiness invovles sex with the same sex, and perhaps financial and personal advantages through a union. Lets just call it a gaymarraige (a new word, so we don't' have to debate whether we can change the word marriage... I know a gay couple that really couldn't give a shit what their union is called as long as it holds all the advantages of a marriage). Of course, we've had problems granting this clause to many people in the past... it was probably first liket his "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all white men with land and wigs are created equal"
Eventually it had to become "all men and women of any race," and so now is it "all STRAIGHT men and women of any race?" I think not.
As for whether being gay is a mental deficiency... I thought we passed out of that school of thought many years ago, its really quite ridiculous. Which is why, as cheerio suggested, I told my Zambian friends that being gay is no more a mental disease than being black is a physical one.
