Pikes, Xer, here again my lack of the use of words comes through. First off, I do not oppose same sex marriage. The intended thrust of my first question was/is "just what does marriage bring to the table other than legal child birth?"
OC, what a joy you are! From the many Gay and Lesbian individuals I know and work with regularly, their concern is based on legal rights, in which they are discriminated against by law and practice, through lack of recognition of a union, that denies them legal right making decisions concerning health, and estate.
We all know marriage doesn't affect child birth. Children happen with or without marriage. As for the legality, maybe it's more appropriate for the term bastard to apply to the dead beat dad who scores and abandons, or the deadbeat mom who passes the child to her own parents to parent again, because the child interferes with her social life, instead of a mark on the child who had no say.
