What is the standard that will need to be met for "Gay" marriage?

["storm"nut]

I pose this question because all I hear about is the fight for the rights for gay couples to get married. A man and a man or a women and a women. Okay, fine by me but will there be a gay test? How do you prevent fraud much like people wanting citizenship get married for just that reason, which is illegal. Would not a required testing program be a very bad president and could lead to discrimination if implemented? Or should there be marrige with no restrictions at all in number of people and age?

why do gay people frighten you, stormnut?

they don't. not one bit. I am just asking simple questions. I don't care how people live there lives. They can go to hell for all I care. I just want to make sure everyone is treated fairly.

If the government is going to be in the marriage business, it needs to provide the same legal benefits equally to all people.

I believe this was already addressed in the classic film "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry".

In other words, it will be hilarious.

More of a fan of Civil Unions as I believe marriage is a convent between god and the married couple. If anything I wish governments would remove the word marriage from there official documentation no matter who is getting joined.

also if you stay fake gay married for long enough you will fall in gay love and be real gay married. I learned this from "the following" starring kevin bacon.

basically, i think stormnut started this thread to say that if 2 dudes are gay and wanna live gay together, then he needs to witness them doing it raunchy butt-style.

This. Government types giving special benefits to people that are married and treat them differently to people that are unmarried like my self is unfair. I should be able to marry my self and get those benefits.

but if one of the gay men had straight sex at one time does that disqualify them from gay marriage?

lots of folks say this but it's bullshit. I mean I've never see any politician propose this, and politicians spew bullshit pretty freely.

Why does it have to be marriage. All marriages are civil unions but not all civil unions are marriages. Solved easy.

What if two straight people have a different God than you do? Do you want to disqualify them from marriage, too?

You realize no one GAF about the title marriage, right?  You realize that bigots are using this gov't calling crap marriage talking point as a way to angry up the relig base, right? 

All this has ever been about is the right to join in a union that provides equal rights on things like benefits, property rights, end of life stuff, etc.  None of which has anything to do with religion.

How is the simplicity missing you?  Marry who you like.  it is no one else's business.
