womzillaGay marriage isn't about fucking.
Gay people can fuck that now, and they do. Heck, in the United States, right now, I'm pretty sure it's not legal to stop gay people from fucking. Civil unions, domestic partnerships, marriage--they're completely irrelevant to the question which tab goes in which slot (or no tab, as the case may be).
Gay marriage isn't about fucking. It's about what people do with their lives when they're not fucking. It's about home ownership and wills and health insurance and visitation rights and parental rights and leaving messages for their honeys at work and just saying "I'm his husband" and having people understand what that means.
It's about people taking care of each other because they don't just want to fuck, they want to live their lives together like human beings.
Those of us who support gay marriage, we're going to live like human beings. The rest of you: Go fuck each other. It's apparently all you can understand.

Frankly, as long as polygamists were required to tell their other spouses and children about one another, I have no problem with that choice either.
