I sometimes wonder if the battle over same-sex marriages is as much about acceptance as it is about equal rights.

Personally, I think the gov should throw the "marriage" out. If you want to be legally committed, like you said, same rights and obligations, through the government, then call it a civil union. If marriage is a religious term.. let it up to religious people who want that word to go have their church ceramony. Why do agnostic or athiests have to use the religous term "marriage"?

It would be the most simple and fair solution. Which means it's guaranteed to not happen!


I was hungry for chick fi a yesterday, and stopped on the way back from visiting my little buddy in the Pediatric ICU in Gainseville. Right before I got up to the drive thru window, a hose blew in my car and antifreeze spilled everywhere, steam pouring from the hood. I couldnt wait to pick up the spicy chicken sammich, so I pulled around to the parking lot and shut my car off. While a friend helped me fix the car, the owner of the G-ville Chick Fil - A was pretty awesome, gave me a free meal and made sure everything was alright with my car. It was pretty cool, he seems to be a great guy.
