It's homophobes that are losing, not gay people.
More than half of Americans now approve of gay marriage, and DADT is dead.
You and bigfoot are the reason I hate to agree with either side on this issue.
I think gays, like all Americans, should be left alone to live their own life. You as assumption extrapolate that out to mean that freedom means government must recognize and bless gay relationships and give them "benefits."
On the other hand, the right rather then just saying it isn't marriage jump to how they are blocking marriage because gay marriages somehow threaten their heterosexual ones.
It's the sad fate of libertarianism. Both sides are whacked and even if you have the right view it's for the wrong reason. If you both would just focus on freedom from government instead of having government ram your warped morality down everyone's throats, you both could still do what you want and the rest of us would be free of your hateful intolerance. Both parties are anti-choice.
If straight marriages receive benefits, gay marriages should as well. It's not a bad thing to want the same tax benefits of marriage.
