[Vision2020] Why I Support Gay Marriage

[g. crabtree]

"Are you suggesting that if one doesn't have and answer to this question, then the state need not allow the marriage?"

No. I was suggesting that it would make for a more useful and interesting discussion than falling back on the same tactic that most 5 year olds use when told no. "But I want it!" and "That's no fair" followed by a stomp of the foot quickly become tedious and really do very little to further the conversation.

Are you suggesting that if one doesn't have and answer to this question, then the state need not allow the marriage? Should this be the standard for what the state allows and what it doesn't e.g. whether it is a benefit to society? Funny this didn't come up in the smoking issue!
