Sorry to hear that Bran. Here we passed the civil union laws, in Calif., not too much controversy, easily accepted.
The only issue here is over the word marriage, really, and how families are created and structored. I.E., Homosexuals want in on family inheritances, for example, force families to legally accept them in the chain of inheritance. The same rights and prievlieges my wife recieved, and vice versa, to our respective families.
