I think that if a gay couple commits to one another they out to have the same rights and responsibilities as any other.


I got married for the first time at 44, my wife was 47 and with no prospect of kids our marriage it was not a license to go forth and multiply. I have no problem with gays having the privileges of marriage, if they are willing to live by the oath. People in this country talk about "defense of marriage" their efforts would be much better spent fighting unplanned single motherhood and the 50% divorce rate. That is where marriage needs defending.
