Aargh. So, I just need to throw my 2 cents in here. Because it seems to be everywhere I go (i.e. not just lj)
I have no words to express what exactly I think of Bush. I can't even begin to comprehend how someone can think like that. Gay people deserve exactly the same rights as anyone else, and though I don't exactly support gay marriage, I wholeheartedly believe they deserve civil unions.

I'm just annoyed. There's a message board I go to alot, and theres been a whole debate about all this stuff lately. And this one guy has just frustrated me beyond belief. Like, I just want to bang my head against the wall repeatedly.
How? Why?

Why unions, but not marriage? What do you see as the difference?

If civil unions had the same legal strength as marriage, then I might agree. But civil unions give significantly fewer legal rights to same-sex couples compared to marriage. So it seems discriminatory and unfair to prevent gay marriage. I see it as a legal issue, not a religious one.

Well, I'm not really sure, but I was raised catholic so I still see marriage as something special I guess.

For some reason I thought they did. Bad me. But what I was trying to say is that they deserve the same rights as a married couple.

Thanks for responding. I was just curious about your point-of-view. I hope I didn't seem to be attacking you or anything.

Not at all.
