What's the debate about anyway? If two people want to live together they will.
Marriage has been around longer than government has been around, and marriage really isn't our government's business anyway.
Consider governments where people have no civil rights, like communist China, North Korea, and other extremest repressive governments. People get married there all the time but they have no civil rights. If marriage were a civil right then nobody could get married.
Marriage has nothing to do with government. In many cases marriage has nothing to do with religion or morals either. Atheistic communist countries have marriage. :shrug:
So why the big push from gay-rights activists? Gays just want the government to say they are moral.
Gays also want government perks such as tax breaks, etc. Consider that income tax wasn't even levied until the sixteenth ammendment in 1909. Should income taxes be the basis for redefining what marriage is? This is nonsense.
I think gay-rights activists are dumbing it up again. They want to redefine marriage so it means anything you want it to mean. It originally meant procreation of the human race.
When the government gets involved it typically creates more problems than it solves.
