Yep...and all those enlightened southern states that had "separate but equal" laws...what was the difference? When you say to a group of people that they can't have the same legal rights as others...that's discrimination, pure and simple! And..."nobody in California..." that's a rather sweeping generalization! Why would one be against gay marriage if they believe in their heart that a gay person is the same as them? All kinds of rhetoric, all kinds of semantics, all kinds of utter BS!!! "Many of the same tax benefits" is that the same as saying equal under the law? I've been here before...the "enlightened" folks who say, "Why some of my best friends are....(fill in the blank)" Got nothing against gay folk...as long as they don't move in next door or have to audacity to not know their place! My god, give in to these folks and next thing you know...those hell-bound Wiccans will want to have religious symbols on the tombstones of Wiccan soldiers killed defending our right to discriminate ....oh wait!
