Dammit... now I'm curious. What non-religious logical argument would you have against same sex marriage?

Man the number of times of thought or said something like this only to come back and say something like this.

Because they are people too and it's none of our business if they want to get married.

But that is not a logical argument. Its an emotional one.

Federal control vs. State's Rights.......part 3?

That's happening Regardless, ie Colorado and Washington and Recreational substances.

"Outside of the marriage context, can you think of any other rational basis, reason, for a state using sexual orientation as a factor in denying homosexuals benefits or imposing burdens on them? Is there any other rational decision-making that the government could make? Denying them a job, not granting them benefits of some sort, any other decision?" Justice Sotomayor. 3/26/2013

I counted that whole MM thing as part 2

And DG........What logical arguement can you give for traditional marraiges, that wouldn't apply to same-sex couples?

Personally, I could give two shits who marries who or whos. Just keep the hoo-hoo dillys and the cha-chas away from the kids and the dogs, and I'm cool. If being together is what makes them happy, why should they not have the same rights as anyone else? Because they have plumbing in common?

The right to marriage is not in that document.

The government is currently affording special privileges based on religious views that discriminate against those who are homosexual. Either all consenting adults may marry and be afforded special privileges by the federal and state governments or none should. A ruling in favor of equal rights will not and should not force a church/pastor/etc. to conduct a marriage ceremony in the vein of their religious traditions.
