I feel like that's when your dog gets hit by a car and it's still alive and you leave it on the street. Also I feel like we're really close (like with Maine) and someone is going to vote for gay marriage someday. I mean Massachusetts hasn't fallen apart yet so I think that's a good indication that EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE FINE if the gheyz get married.

They are clearly "less than." Unless it's really just about them instead of about us. But I like to imagine that they're doing it for the gays. I imagine that a lot.

I agree. I prefer the we-won't-get-married-until-everyone-can thing better. However, I really liked this quote "In a democratic state, all institutions should be open to all people" and I think that's a good approach to follow.At least it brings more visibility and that can't be a bad thing. And really, the argument of having institutions open to all people BECAUSE of the fact that there's a democracy thing going on? So true. Nope, you’re not. I agree.

I get that the straight couple in Britain are trying to make a point, or whatever, and be supportive of gay rights... but it just seems SO RIDICULOUS to me. to talk about civil partnerships as a "right" that gay people have that straight people don't is frankly kind of insulting. I mean, am I crazy? okay… I get that the straight couple in Britain are trying to make a point, or whatever, and be supportive of gay rights… but it just seems SO RIDICULOUS to me. to talk about civil partnerships as a “right” that gay people have that straight people don’t is frankly kind of insulting.
