    Redneck-How would your so called model be destroyed if Homosexuals were allowed to have the very same rights as Heterosexuals that marry? Just give 1 real example please.

    Have the Homosexuals that have married so far, in the states that allow it, in the countries that allow it, has that changed anyones marriage in any way shape or form,that you know of?

    And even IF it did change anyones marriage, that's just too bad, why don't you believe in equal rights for everyone?

    Homosexuals should have the very same rights as Heterosexuals, to marry the consenting adult that they love and are attracted to, just like Heterosexuals do.

      What "civil rights" are denied to homosexuals? Marriage? Who says that is a "right"? Where is it written?

        Gay couples are denied civil unions in most states. They are denied input into end-of-life and other medical decisions and have been removed from wills by family members. They cannot file joint tax returns or be covered under the same insurance policy.

        As to your point on 'rights': where is it written that straight couples have the right to marry? Rights not enumerated in the Constitution are assumed unless said activity violates the rights of another. If a legal standing is granted to a particular class of people but not another then that is unequal treatment under the law and is specifically prohibited in the Constitution.

          Reading really IS fundamental.

          Here is a list of the over 1,000 RIGHTS and responsibilities associated with marriage in the United States.

          http://www.religioustolerance.org/mar_bene.htm

          Try that link. See for yourself. And you didn't answer the question. What harm has come from the gay couples already enjoying marriage equality? How has one straight couple's marriage been harmed in any way?

          Don't dodge the question simply because you can't answer it. Say "There are none!" and let everyone know that your argument is based solely on your own prejudices. If you are going to have a bias against a minority, at least have the testicular fortitude to wear it on your sleeve.

          And the Pope of all people shouldn't be throwing so many stones inside his glass house. Every time he says something ignorant about gay people, someone somewhere should shout 'CHILD MOLESTER' at his face.
