Highlights from the Prop 8 ruling: on overruling the will of the voters

If that's what you want, then campaign to have government stop recognizing anyone's marriage and then we can all have domestic partnerships. So long as government recognizes anyone's marriage, it is unjust not to recognize everyone's marriage.

Interesting view(s) ... does any marriage "need" sanctioning or definition? You don't think marriage has long been held to be between a man and a woman? My point is simply that marriage is being selectively redefined from a traditional standpoint and it is shady to seek to change the term to receive recognition or benefits. First, change the legally accepted definition of marriage, or pursue equality in other ways. I have no agenda to pursue in this regard. I disagree that this push for marriage has to co-opt the word "marriage" and its historical meaning. How many G unions (stated that way due to my preferences here in mylot) result in procreation? Unions may actually be a more accurate classification for same gender relationships or is there a better term that comes to mind?

This "traditional marriage" you hang so much on is far less traditional than you would like to believe. Even looking at the history of the US, the definition of marriage has shifted. There was a time when American law didn't limit marriage to one man and one woman. There was a time when American law didn't permit marriage between racial classifications. There was a time when American law placed a married woman's assets under her husband's control. All these aspects of "traditional marriage" changed once society understood that they were odious and incompatible with being a nation governed by our Constitution. Nor does it matter how many gay marriages result in procreation, plenty of heterosexual marriages don't result in procreation and they are still marriages. You may have no agenda to pursue in this regard, but you pursue one nontheless.
