The better solution is people mind their own business and stop forcing their beliefs on others.
Get the federal and state governments out of the marriage business.
Let the LGBT community lobby churches and find a church that will sanction gay marriage. Than everybody is happy and there is no further government imposing its will.

I am all for that. Would never happen now that so much is tied in with marriage like insurance, retirement, social security, etc.
I still am not sure why the word marriage is so sacred to the religious folk, straighr atheists can get married right now, wouldnt you want to stop that too. I mean if marriage is a religious thing and all.
Who says it is a matter of considering a word sacred? How about the implications of the .gov being able to redefine words? How is that going to work out for Constitutional law? How about contracts? How about something as pedestrian as general communication. As soon as you permit the political redefinition of words that have been stable for centuries if not millennia, you have opened the door to all kinds of things I, for one, don't want to have to deal with. I would think anyone on this forum could understand this after all the hell we have had legally with assorted morons trying to argue that the Second Amendment refers to the National Guard having a right to arms, not the people. What about the ObamaCare penalty that is a tax but isn't treated as a tax because it isn't a tax--it's a penalty but it is constitutional because it is a tax? Now, are you absolutely sure you want the .gov redefining the English language?
Well that escalated quickly.

I say if gay couples want to be as miserable as straight married couples, let them...except for the fact that most gay couples I've known have seemed to be much better at picking a partner than the majority of straight couples I've known.
"Radical homos"? Nice. Also, didn't realize that if me and my gal of 22 years wanted to tie the knot that we could be opening a "pandoras box.". Scary folk we are.
