merc.. then why does anyone need to be 'legally embraced' if gays don't?
gay marriage isn't hurting anyone because it isn't happening yet other than SF..
There are lots of advantages to marriage, taxes and otherwise.. what's the big deal either way. juet let em do it especially since it doesn't hurt anyone.

"which taxes? and otherwise what? whats the big deal? it doesn't hurt anyone?"

these aren't excuses. if i'm going to vote i want to know why the hell i should allow gays to be married. please tell me which taxes exactly and what real differences it means. i would definately not vote for something just because it doesn't hurt me. if thats your idea of voting i'm ashamed. i have nothing against gay people but whats the advantage in legalizing gay marriage?

taxes are one thing
inssurance discounts if you are a couple i think


but just the symbology

wtf is symbology

couldn't take the 5 seconds to define it for him? :whack:

i'm not a lawyer but there are legal benefits for marriage.. like being able to see them in the hospitle.. and besides, it doesn't affect you any. "gays will be gays" :/

well if it doesn't affect me any i'm fucking not voting for it. now will someone get me the facts, i'm debating weather i want this or not and i need info.

p.s. symbology is a lame word

k i quit this thread.. merc is on a stat trip and doesn't care about others' rights :/...

suppose ur 42 and a tech levy for a school came around...(which happened here)

it doesnt affect you but you voted anyway

first prometheus, that would affect me, i care about my city and education.

i'm not on a stat trip and i'll care about someones rights when you tell me what it does to benefit gay people (by this i mean the laws not what it makes people feel). briefly mentioning taxes isn't enough. i'm trying to go about this logically and you're getting all defensive like i'm being a stat whore? i don't give a shit about stats. look at my post count compaired to yours. i have arguments and you ignore them because you can't answer.
