Doesn't matter.  When you attack the way of things and start a fuss, you're attacking me.

Negative. You might feel attacked but in reality, it has nothing to do with you.  At most things will change superficially for you.

I don't think you factor into their thoughts at all.  In fact, if I had to be glad about anyone squirming over gay marriage, it'd be derspeiss. :)

Who's squirming?  Marriage in Ohio has been protected via a constitutional amendment :P

Constitutional amendments can be overturned. :menace:

Good thing to or drinking would still be banned.

For civil unions, so far it's actually quite surprising.  Lesbians are far more likely to get divorced than gay men, though they also unionise earlier in both relationship and age terms.

Actually, I don't find that surprising at all.

The chances of a marriage failing increase with the amount of women in them?  Because that strikes me as a very sexist position to take Cal :angry:

Isn't it that lesbians rush in? It takes a lot of effort and purpose to settle down as a gay man, whereas lesbians are quick to nest.

"Amount" of women?  Women are numbered.  They don't have an "amount."  Should be "number of women" and then the statement becomes accurate.

With two men, it's likely that there will never be a marriage to begin with. :D

In Mass., about half of the married homosexual couples I knew were gay, and half lesbian.  AFAIK all of them are still together.

It has everything to do with me.  People try and change things because of their lack of respect for me.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.
