Originally posted by Davo: Isn't there a large special interest group trying to force society to accept gay marriage? If there isn't, then why do states feel the need to pass amendments defining marriage?
No, they're not trying to force *society* to accept it. They're trying to get the same rights afforded to them under their State (and maybe some day the United States) Constitution, by their GOVERNMENT, NOT society.
This has NOTHING to do with society or society's opinion. Healthcare will not allow a partner under a civil union to have final say in treatment, save for VERY few instances. They are not allowed to handle financial/estate affairs in the event of death. EVEN if they've been together for 40 or 50 years.
Why do you see that as being just under the concept of "All men are created equal?"
