Always the numbers game, Ake?

First of all, it is as KB noted. The article is prior to the same-sex marriage movement getting well under way, and it is obviously biased.

What it all boils down to is that, no matter how many or how few gay couples want to marry, it should be among their CIVIL RIGHTS (equal protection under the law) to have the same rights and privileges as hetero couples—the same protections that other committed couples have. The same rights of ownership, the same tax privileges, the same inheritance laws, and the same hospital visitation rights (as a spouse) in case of illness. And the same right to have their union religiously sanctified in a church that is willing to marry them (and there are many such churches, as I have noted several times above), and have that union recognized under the law.
