They can co-sign for a morgage, sleep in the same bed, snuggle at night.... whatever. But lets face it, the reason this is an issue is because these same sex couples want the benifit of being married, they want to claim spousal discounts on their taxes, receive medical benifts through health care/work.. etc...

Exactly, I don't have a problem with it as long as it doesn't cost us anything. If somebody would come out with the figures on what it would cost the rest of us, then I think you would see the revolt on this. It would go kinda like this, "Not in this country pal!"

-as far as the nature comment, your right nuclear energy ect.. is not natural however things like electricity, nuclear power, the wheel, sliced bread... are all products of intelecual development... when it comes to issues surrounding sex there are more than just intelectual development at work, there is cultural taboos, values, instinct, chemicals in the brain... there are so many outside influences that affect us from the minute we are born that is extremely difficult to decipher what caused this person to do something so "un natural"

Wow dude, you hit it right on the head! You can't compare what people do with what happens in nature, that was my point. If marriage between two people of the same sex is immoral, hell they already are immoral. Do I care? I don't.

Actually, my comment on having a debate on a subject, instead of insults, was stemmed from another thread.
