Face it, we beg to have the gvmt run our lives. We want Social Security so we don't have to plan our own retirement, we want gvmt to give us all an education, to insure we have secure jobs at a living wage. We demand protection from competition, watch to insure that business owners don't "gouge" us, and now we demand that gvmt even take care of our health.
Never will a one-size-fits-all-plan be fair to everybody. There will always be a minority who gets the shaft, sacrificed to the demands of the majority.
Why should it be any different when we demand the gvmt regulate marriage? Even if gvmt does allow gays to marry, there will still be other groups that won't share the "benefits" you seek. Is this fair as long as you get what you want?
Wouldn't it be better for all if we just took responsibility for our own lives and got the gvmt OUT of running us?
Shouldn't we enter into our marriage as we define in our contract with our partner?

rhaevyn - You think there's good things that come out of gvmt when they run our education and health care, but nothing good by gvmt running our marriage. I believe that there's no good that comes from gvmt running education and healthcare, but regulating marriage serves the greater good.
Now we are just where we started with no hope to break the impasse.
This is why there will never be a gay marriage, because too many people medel in the lives of others.
We want to live our lives free as we see best, but gvmt better watch everyone else and make sure no one else gets more freedom than me!
