I dunno what the stats for marriages in Alabama are (some are shotgun, but heh, we are in the South). But I do unequivocaly know the number of gay marriages in Alabama: zero.

Just like Miss California, I believe marriage is between a man and a woman (no matter how horrific she may be).

I do think that the privilege to be married should be revokable (as well as having kids). The crap I see in the local and national news proves me correct everyday. But the lawyers would appose that.

Here is a test for you. If you are 40 and up, what was your view of gays back in 1980-1985? Thats when AIDS became an issue and is why I picked that time frame. I remember well the general attitude (though it was wrong). Back then, I would dare say (if you were even thinking about it) that the idea of Gay Marriage (we would have called it something else) would have been shot down universally across the country. What has changed? Have we become more enlightened? No. All that has happened is related to indoctrination in schools and the the byproducts of political correctness. Its called the Liberal Agenda. Pelosi and Clinton could care less about gays and more about the Big Tent theory of voters. It works. But in the process, you sell your soul to the devil. Gay Marriage does not derive from any useful principle (for human kind). It is a luxury afforded to rich societies.

I am not opposed to civil unions. They make sense. If they grant participants the same privileges as heteros. If not, then they need to be fixed. If that does not satisfy gay people, then you know it is more about FORCING acceptance than anything else. And I simply will not do that.
