Not fair. That's what I actually read. It's also why I stand alone at parties.
Quote:
You can't encourage stable families. People are going to build stable families because they want to build a stable family.
Preventing gay people from getting hitched doesn't encourage straight people to go out and have kids and raise them in a stable family.
Gay people getting married doesn't discourage anyone from going about their lives and building stable families if they are so inclined.
What exactly is the thought process you expect people to go through with this "encouraging stable family units" thing?
"I'm going to get married and have kids and love my wife, because the government won't let gays do the same thing, and I'm special"?
or the opposite...
"I want to get married and have kids and love my wife, but I'm not going to, because the gays are allowed to get married too, and it wouldn't be special"?

This is a much more complicated subject. I've got to think about it a bit.
