    Since people are every conservative about traditional marriage instead of going through the effort of having to try to alter traditional marriage why don't gays,bi,lesbians and transgenders have there own union that interfere with traditional marriage its kinda a lost cause because there are always going to be people against that so this could be a lot better alternative.And also i think until then this will continue to happen like prop 8 unfortunately.So what im trying to get out of this a union for gays ect so that they can be married.

    Let me know what you think

    ...But why shouldn't we be able to have marriage, the same as everyone else?

    I thought we wanted equality? The right to have what everyone else has.

    ummm aren't you simply talking about civil unions?
    and i aree with lyingfigure, we want equality not segregation.
    but in the abscence of marriage, civil unions are alright.

    Right now with our government down here if we had civil unions I would be content. >_>


    However OP, remember that in the US the fight for gay marriage is just beginning with how Prop 8 passed. Something WILL happen soon.. I can just feel it.

    Because we deserve to be equal, just as everyone else deserves to be equal simply by being. Separate will never be equal.

    I understand but this can also be an alternative if all else fails and you can name the union something different...But i understand what everyone is saying separate isn't equal but idk.Anyone else have a opinion

    I actually do agree with you. It's like the USSR. Now Communism was the ultimate goal of the Soviets but until they were truely ready for it they adopted Socialism. (Some may not believe that analogy but I don't care)

    It's just a step, a natural progression. Change will come, we just have to wait, be patient and in the meantime we can take civil unions.
