I couldn't care less...
I'm not especially comfortable around gay men (or women) and I can't really figure out why they want to tag themselves with a label that, whatever its romantic connotations these days, was originally a way of making women men's property and formalizing the line of heredity. But if they want to go that route, what difference does it make to me?
The only reason the state has to be involved in marriage (other than because politicians can't leave us alone) is because there are tax advantages. Since I don't think there should be tax breaks for marriage and kids, this is one area of our lives the state shouldn't have any say in at all.
I find it ironic (if understandable, given their courting of the religious right) that the party most vocally opposed to big government, wants to introduce more legislation affecting our private lives.
