Thank you for pointing out the ONLY fairness in govt is to recognize all Marriages or reject them all. It is purely a matter of Chruch and State along with taxation issues. I hate the prop 8 gay spreaders and as well the person wirh a faimly of nine boasting it as well. I wish like hell the petty little people spreading hate on CL about Blake's one way or another would just STOP. We have hungry children, proverty, unemployment as all sorts of things that need your wasted energy.
Blake's is privately held. What they do or do not do with their money is truly their private business. Just like what you and I do with our money.
Now for the person with a family of nine. That's good you made a choice to have a family. There is alot of work and love to have in a large family. I am sure I pay plenty of property taxes to help school the children. Even tho I will never be sending a child to public school, I have always helped paid for others. The standard federal tax exemptions for your family must be great. Now why would it bother you for me and my lifetime partner like you and yours, have the right to atleast get a deduction for 2 wage earners? Do you think that we can change one of your children into being gay or lesbian? Would you love them any less if they were? Well unless you are the Osmond family, chances are one or of your offspring is homosexual. Why would it bother you for me to decide my who my pension plan goes to? Why would it bother you for me to decide who my estate goes to? Without the worries of homophobe family members that cast me away for being me? I am just wondering why these things that hetrosexual couples "automatically" get bothers you? This is not an argument of my choice or my creation. This is a quest to really find out why some hetrosexuals deny the same things to others that they get? In a country that is build on equality, I ponder why this is so bothersome. For the record, I do not support legalized same sex marriage ( yes I am gay) nor do I support legalized opposite sex marriage. Marriage is a religous institution and should reamain as such. Our government needs to recognize only rhe legal aspects of the individual. I mean wouldn't you be pissed off of someone in your family just drops in after your death and rob your lifetime partner of the estate you built together?
