Just because you don't understand it, don't condone it, don't like it, doesn't mean you should prevent other people from HAVING RIGHTS.

like i said before, to me it has nothing to do with rights. if it is not for religious reasons and it only has to do with someone just wanting to be able to claim the tax breaks and benefits of a "married couple", i think thats bullshit. now if they are getting married truely for religious reasons then i support that 100%. it just seems to me that most of them are fighting only for the benefits, and to me thats wrong. that would be like me as a single person fighting to get the same breaks and benefits that married couples get and claiming discrimination against singles if they said no.
