Health, first of all, I would hope that you would pay child support. They are YOUR children too. I can’t imagine someone would want to abandon thier children when their marriage doesn’t work out. Alimony is rarely given out now – it was much more important when women were 99% of the time SAHM and therefore lost all earning power when they were older. All those details should be worked out in a marriage contract.
The movement has to be agressive – how do you think women won rights? Or blacks? Or any other minority group?
HaLeivi, all the things you just mentioned were used to opress blacks. And Jews. And interracial marriages.
How does their wanting to have a legal binding contract infringe on YOUR rights? What are they making you do?
A gay marriage has a lot less of an affect on society than an Orthodox Jew. Orthodox Jews need many dispensations to practice religion. A gay couple is just asking for the right of a contract. It does NOT infringe on your rights. They aren’t asking for religious leaders to perform any ceremonies.
It really makes me upset when people who ask for some many freedoms deny them to others.
