I have a much better idea. Why don't all 50 states and the Federal Government just include same-sex couples in their "definition" of marriage... and all of this bickering can stop and people can move on with their lives, with equal rights and hopefully happiness.

Would most same-sex couples be satisfied with civil unions creating the same rights and obligations that are found in traditional marriages and that are recognized in all states? It would be a marriage, short the name. I know that some argue that it won't be truly equal rights for same-sex couples until they can marry, but what difference does it really make if the same-sex coupling is called a civil union instead of a marriage, at least in legal terms. I sometimes wonder if the battle over same-sex marriages is as much about acceptance as it is about equal rights.

You would know better than me, obviously. But the guy I know affiliated with 2 of them here in Roanoke is listed as the "Owner/Operator"? Difference?

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.

Nice story..Hope your buddy is doing well..

Actually a Good Samaritan came along and lead me to a local garage and left the car and was fixed next day...still have the guys name and number..
