And how would, by my logic, my woman of my dreams get taken away? Explain that, as we are not taking Max away from you, the government just won't let you marry.
If I were to move back to the USA, Max would not be allowed to come with me. If he were to go into the hospital in a coma, I wouldn't be given any rights whatsoever to see him or make important medical decisions, etc. It's not about marriage, it's about the 1000+ federal rights and protections that marriage gives in the USA. Frankly, I don't care what people think of my relationship, I know it's a good, happy, stable relationship. But I DO care that the USA is denying me rights and protections that it gives others. Because yes, I COULD have Max taken away from me simply because the government refuses to acknowledge that we're anything other than roommates.

I'm not saying, by itself, Homosexuality is wrong, but marrying homosexuals opens up a can of worms. And for God's sake, explain you're damn arguments! You went from brillaiant to desperate, as you started taking things out of context and saying wierd things, like my point being valid when I wantr it to, without backing it up. Either back it up, or expect your posts to be ignored as unsubstantiated.
So then what you're saying is, despite how it may or may not be "wrong", I still shouldn't get those rights and protections because someone else in a totally unrelated scenario might want them too? What you sound like you're saying is "We're denying you rights because we don't want group B to have them". That's fuzzy logic at best. You can't deny one group rights on the basis that you don't want another group to have those rights. Either you give them to me or you deny me those rights but you do it on the basis of gay marriage. Not on the basis of polygamy, incest, whatever. Either I deserve them or I don't, but you can't say "You don't deserve them because THEY might want them too." THEY are not ME. "Sorry Billy, you can't have equal employment or housing rights because then goldfish might start applying for government positions". You're going to have to come up with a better argument than that.

One thing I will give you guys credit for, at least you've found "same old tired argument #4". I DID say I wished you'd come up with something other than same old tired arguments #1-3, and you came through.
