It makes as much sense for gays to get married as it does straights. Realize that we gays can also have families.

I can't speak to the experiences of they gays you know, but I can speak to mine. I never had any issues interacting with the opposite sex. I still have no issues interacting with women. I never made a choice to be different, and I never had the sort of experiences that you insist drive us to this choice. I have never been attracted to women. In fact, my first crush I had on a boy was in 1st grade. I was gay well before I understood what it meant and well before I knew that there were other people like me.

And, yes, most women are very comfortable around us because we're not acting all creepy toward them.
Gays can also have a MAKESHIFT family of some sort. That's why normal people who care have no problem with civil unions and the respect that goes with them. Why you people say you want to be "married" has no basis in common sense. And every justification you now come up with about crushes etc. are only your argument today for being different.

jbjb, I imagine with your lifestyle of going to smelly, smoky casinos all the time precludes any decent woman from bothering with you. I have no idea what you're getting at by mentioning a 3rd party.
