Don't you love when a Republican claims to support small government? It's so funny!?

For gays the real issue seems to be the word "marriage." It looks more and more like they want to detract from the word itself. After all they can already have any benefit that marriage provides by making vows in a civil ceremony and by properly arranging things in their insurance portfolios. Why the all the flap about the word "marriage" unless, as I said before, their real purpose is to detract from its traditiional meaning and value?
