I have no problem with gay marriages, more women on the market that might take a liking to me! Our society from the top down is filled with groups that bend over (no pun intended) the average Joe using the system dishonestly for personal gain, so put the passion to prevent the gay union for fear of fraudulent acts into punishing any and every POS that pulls wool for personal gain. And start at the very top and work down please. It only makes sense for the biggest and worst offenders to be dealt with accordingly. Imagine stopping the Bernie Maidoffswitcho$ and Wall Street moguls I meant maggots that scalded the fair skin of our economy to near fatal results. As for the reasoning to prevent gay marriage to protect the innocence of the children brought into the home setting via the gay relationship I have a universal problem with fun with the innocence of a child in anyway shape or form, there are plenty of kids ousted from households of Married men and women where genuine love for their welfare was ignored for whatever f'd up issue (take your pick) and if they can be adopted and raised by a caring adult(s) then I support it. Or if the gay couple get a surrogate mother or for a male gay couple or dude, sperm donor for a female gay couple or woman. Transfer the passion of laying your personal way of life onto society as a whole to providing a good upbringing and punishing f'rs (And I'm talking some mid evil shite punishment aka Zeds dead (Pulp fiction) ramifications if any adult thinks harming a kid emotionally or physically. permutable. Kids eventually become self-reliant adults conducting themselves using the tools of their upbringing and most times the sponge of cumulative cognitive learning spills deep with what those children learned from their parents/family. Base the mandatory set to act by bar high and may loving and caring come first rather than personal preference.
