Yorick, you have mentioned that love and sex are separate things. Which is fine. Homosexual couples wanting to marry don't actually ask society to acknowledge that they are having SEX, but to acknowledge the LOVE they have for each other. Yet your personal stance is to deny them that right - in a way, allowing them to have sex but not love ?

It's not about not allowing anything, it's about a society as a whole, choosing to encourage male-female family building. Society. The family building benefits extend right down to care of the elderly by their proginy.
Besides, it's the other way round. Men can love each other. Why should I be discriminated against for not manifesting my love for my best male friends sexual,y? Why should another two males receive encouragement purely because they express their love physically and I don't? You are advocating the deification of SEX, not the deification of love.
Anyone that dares suggest my love for other men is not "real love" because I'm not sleeping them, is proving my point to the letter.
So, why should I be discriminated against?
The reality is, Judeo/Islamic/Christian societies elevate one type of relationship. Not forbid others. [/QUOTE]Nah Yorick, you are twisting things. [img]smile.gif[/img] All I am advocating is the right for homosexuals to choose a lifepartner and get the society benefits given to those couples who live according to the family values you yourself want to promote.
You being a heterosexual doesn't mean you will jump on any human female around, yes ? Well, it is the same for homosexuals - those who want to marry are those who want to dedicate their sexuality to their one chosen love - and thus homosexual marriage would actually allow them and you to express love for others in a nonequivocal way - sex being, by their and your acknowledgement, out of the way.
