No. This is a country split on granting basic human rights and equality to a small but vocal minority.

Who is deprived of any rights?
No one in this country is unable to get married.
And in terms of same sex unions, no one is arguing that they shouldn't have the same rights as married couples. What they are arguing about, and wasting tax dollars at the same time, is about what they are calling same sex unions. Instead of calling it a same sex union or some other term they are lumping it in with marriage.
Because a small subsection of the population has nothing better to with their time, money is being wasted on something even more frivilous then the gun registry. [/b][/quote]
So it comes down to nothing more than the use of the word "marriage"? That's it? Who exactly is wasting taxpayers money then? Who cares if this small subsection of the population wants to be able to use the word marriage?
I agree with you that it is a waste of money, I just lay the blame elsewhere.
