lagilmanPersonally, I'm not going to cast stones at California until my own state gets its act together WRT the topic. Hopefully, it will be soon... (you hear that, state legislature? Do the right thing, for once. If you can't handle the moral implications, then think of the wedding business cash infusion!)
This whole thing confuses me: I've never quite understood why someone else's partner-preference is any of my (or your, or the government's) business, so long as it's legally and emotionally consensual [goats can't give consent, so hush]. So how can We The People, in any form, say one aspect of partner-preference gets rights, and the other doesn't? Is there any argument against marital equality that doesn't start, end, or in any way involve "My interpretation of God says so?"
