[Vision2020] Spain Legalizes Same-Sex Marriage

"I do not see why doctors, who know that homosexuality
is not a choice,"
The research you are relying on to claim that homosexuality is not a choice
is questionable at best. I personally don't care how many countries make it
legal or how many think it should be...a civil service maybe but no church
should be required to accept it.

I do not see why doctors, who know that homosexuality
is not a choice, and know that a person in today's
society is limited in functionally normally because of
the law, just do not classify homosexuality as a
disability.

Then society could not discriminate against them and
gay marriage would just be an accommodation so they
could live life as normally as possible, which is the
function of an accommodation.

A disability is simply something that is life limiting
and effects their ability to function normally in day
to day society. I would say homosexuals are severely
limited in today's world from functioning normally.

that's still not a real marriage whether they call it
married or not."

Well, thanks for speaking for the rest of of us, but
to ME it IS a real marriage, seeing as my open mind
the new Spanish law says it is.  I find the comments
above ignorant and oversimplified.  Marriage is not
only about what goes on in the bedroom, I think we all
know that.  Why should a legal union of two people be
eligible to some and not others? That is the basis for
my support of this law.  Despite my sexual
orientation, I should be able to legally marry
whatever fellow consenting adult I choose.  I'm not
saying this should be accepted by my church or by any
church for that matter--the article is about the
government of Spain, the LAW.   Why should the law
pick and choose?

Sometimes simple is best and this seems simple enough,
