The matter of homosexuality has been BADLY handled by the Press and the US Government; Shame, Shame, Shame. They ought to know better.
The Truths are:
1- Homosexual individuals have the right to Freedom as expressed in the Constitution; ever-lasting life for any US citizen.
2- Marriage has one VERY important fact in support of the welfare and future of ANY country; "Go forth and multiply" is the most pro-active advice for the future welfare of that country or state. Conventional Marriage is the preferred method to do so, since it is the most stable and economical method of doing so. It shall be encouraged and fostered by that government. True Marriage accordingly is executed between one man and one woman. It does NOT exclude any habits either the man or the woman might have outside that marriage, other than the Ten Commandments... but we are all sinners at one time or another, so there are no outright proscriptions. I have known at least one such couple, male was homosexual but raised Catholic, they have a fine, mature daughter as a progeny.
Get real; support 1 man and 1 woman theology. Support your country's FUTURE. Get real.
3- If a homosexual "arrangement" is pursued instead, it should be entitled "Union" or "Partnership". or the like. Limited powers may be installed, like Right of Survival or Descendancy, etc. There are many perfectly suitable legal arrangements possible. I, for one, strongly agree that the preservation of Estates, homosexual or not, should be a matter of individual rights and not a matter of Government Control & Tax, state or Federal. Get real, Congress! And taxes should NEVER be punitive in nature, as the new inheritance taxes have become.
