h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Jay,

I have created this thread so that we may discuss our viewpoints at whatever length we like. Please believe though, that I will be willing to discontinue at anytime you ask. (Not that I could force you to respond beyond that point, even if I might want.)

I am glad that I seem to have at least clarified that it is not the same-gender concept that I have a problem with. There are changes taking place weekly that may move this into truly national waters.

Ultimately, we are each only one person, with one person's opinion. The governmental powers will decree the law to be either this or the other. It may never come to a national vote.

When it comes down to it, I'm very happy for those who are going through ceremonies; happy for them because they are getting what they want so badly. I'm not so happy about what it bodes for the language. We'll have to see what effect it has on the legal system and the institution of 'marriage'.
