Congratulations, you just made the case for same sex unions! Progress!Originally Posted by kreo
^^ This would also be a viable option as it would remove the current discriminatory practice of awarding benefits to someone just because of their inclusion in a certain group.

So you agree that gay marriage is a special rights for gays only.

Well of course "gay marriage" would only include homosexuals, but we're not talking about that. We're talking about "marriage" being a privilege extended to everyone regardless of whether or not they're homosexual or heterosexual.

No we are talking to extending benefits to homosexuals only not to ALL people.
All people include sexual and non-sexual couples, also marriage benefits would be tremendous help to related couples.

Marriage rights are extended in all 50 states to non-sexual (opposite sex) couples. Related couples cannot because A) a legal kinship already exists and B) because it requires legitimising/encouraging incest with the ultimate stamp of societal approval.
You can legalise one thing without legalising another when there are solid reasons for said denial... Such as letting women vote but not removing the age restriction...

Which consenting adult couple would be discriminated against then? Homosexuals are the only ones that are currently unable to marry in many states.
Non sexual people can, and do, already get married for the financial gain. It happens all the time. Second cousins can, in most places, get married direct relation can cause to much harm to the fetus to be viable.
If you feel like non sexual family members (I don't know how one could prove they were non sexual but I digress) should get married then please push for that in another forum, this one is about the discrimination same sex couples face.
Most gay people want marriage for the financial gain, if they did they would marry a friend (which is legal) instead they want the emotional commitment and protections that come along with marriage.

Nowhere in the post you quoted does he even remotely say any such thing.

Who said anything about sexual couples?
Platonic same sex couples could marry.
I'm not saying let's go kill all the stupid people...I'm just saying lets remove all the warning labels and let the problem sort itself out.

Related couples can't marry.
