Well don't miss the main points here, marriage under law and marriage under religion. Marriage under law simply deals with entitlements that most married couples have, joint-taxes, hospitals for a family member, insurance, etc. Marriage under religion, gay/lesbian will most likely never be accepted, at least by conventional religions. And that is NOT the choice of the government, or citizens but believers.

Isn't it true that civil unions provide that already?

Civil Unions tend to have certain limited rights and benefits of marriage. California never had Civil Unions, but had Domestic Partnership laws similar in nature. Now, these partnerships are not banned under California law.

We do get paternity leave, but: 1. it's not as long as maternity leave 2. it's a relatively new thing (law was passed under Clinton) Remember, this is not Europe. We don't get six weeks paid vacation, either.  Juan

I don't think so my friend.
That argument doesn't fly. During the time when making black folks ride the back of the bus was fashionable here's how it worked. On any given day If you and i got on the bus at the same time and you were gay All you would have to do is keep your mouth shut find any seat in the front and no one would know the difference. Me on the other hand? No need to say a word. The skin I'm in would dictate "go to the back of the bus" I lived it my friend. Believe me there is a difference. End of argument. Quote:

Paternity leave for the father is something like 13 weeks up until the child reaches the age of five (employer dependent) usually the father takes 2 maybe 3 weeks at the time of birth. The mother has the right to Statutory maternity leave for 52 weeks. They may be entitled to receive Statutory Maternity Pay for up to 39 weeks of the leave dependent on that employer. If a same sex couple were to adopt a young child do you think the employer would give the partners the same rights as a "normal" couple.

Excellent question:
Quote:
If two men get married.... Who's the mother and who's the Father Quote:
If two women get married who's the mother and who's the father Quote:
Seems like that would be confusing for a child who would need a mother if it were two men, and equally as confusing for a child that needed a father if it were two women.
