oooh, preacha, i can answer that, my friends were married by a ship's captain. they felt that they were closer to the sea than to any organised religion.
one of the primary reasons a lot of homosexual couples would like to be married is so that they can enjoy the same benefits as heterosexual couples. be that house insurance, bank acounts, superannuation payouts.
what are the main reasons that heterosexual couples wish to be married? to show their faith and love for each other in front of friends and loved ones. "dearly beloved we are gathered here today to whitness the joining of two hearts... yada yada yada"
why should homosexual couples not be allowed the same right, priviledge or whatever you want to call it, as heterosexual couples?
DD: i would like you to copy that down and give it to a friend. if you ever get married then they can read it out to see if you really want to be institutionalised... and do you consider "interest groups" not to be part of the collective? jeez wouldn't it be great if everyone were a closed minded right wing biggot.8) if you were a homosexual i'm pretty sure you wouldn't find debates relating to your equallity trivial and petty.
