For the parade thing, I think they do more harm than they do good, because they can actually harm their gay rights movement. People can get a wrong picture about gay people which I know is what they're not going for. |
You can't just make up definitions, though. That's like if I say green to me is red, and expect you just to go along with it. Marriages are legal contracts - they have nothing to do with religion. I happen to know first hand as both my wife and I are atheists. Believe me, there is no religious component whatsoever in our marriage.
Do you think my marriage is less meaningful than somebody else's marriage where the wedding took place in front of a priest?
