Would you like to see a system where EVERYONE was treated the same, regardless of race, sexual orientation, or gender... Yes, or No ?

I'll answer that. Yes, I would like to see a system where EVERYONE is treated the same, regardless of race, sexual orientation, gender, and (I'm adding this one) income level.

I never advocated FOR a law granting same sex marriage. I want the gov't to amend its books so it is completely gender/orientation neutral. If that means widening the current definition of marriage OR replacing the term marriage with civil union, I'm all for it.

My previous post was a reaction to your prediction that allowing sam-sex marriages/unions would be the downfall of small business owners. Your logic relies on a reductionist fallacy -- attributing the behavior of individuals upon an entire group.

The idea that it is not a right for ANY two consenting adults to enter into an relationship that affords them the same rights as two different adults is at the heart of this matter.
