If you can't see how that paragraph you quoted outlines how gay marriage undermines the rights of others, then you're not thinking about the situation hard enough baby.

But I did edit my post if that helps your myopic POV any honey.

In any event, this post of yours sounds more like apologism for wasteful spending and nonsensical rights than an actual explanation on how gay marriage is practical--Or are you admitting it's not?
if you don't want to answer the question, say so. rights aren't being violated or infringed on by gay marriage. if you want the state to exist and you want it to recognize marriage, it has to do so equally to all citizens. i'm arguing more from the point of view that ANY action done by a person shouldn't be illegal UNLESS it infringes on the rights of another.

it goes beyond marriage but i see how you are willing to use the govt to enforce your views on this subject, so i can see how you'd be having problems with the bigger issue of personal freedom.

whether gay marriage (or indeed anything) is "pratical" or not is irrelevant. the only thing that matters is if it infringes on the rights of others, if not, it should not be illegal.
