I think a big part of the frustration also comes from other things that surround marriage. If things were truly equal in other aspects of life, the actual marriage part of it would be less of a concern.
Why do social conservatives in the US
- fight bills/ordinances to prevent discrimination/bullying based on sexual orientation?
- have rules not allowing same-sex partners to visit each other in the hospital?
- have made it hard for a gay person's estate/will to be left to a partner, along with other taxation issues?
- make it so a gay couple from another country can't go through customs together?
If anyone can give me a good, solid reason for each of the points above, please do.
This is why marriage is such a huge issue, because it helps with a whole hell of a lot of little things which cause issues for gay people in that country just to live like anyone else.
Do they not deserve that right (and were talking an actual right), or do they give it up just because of their lifestyle?
