Could it be that the counterculture was against the state's involvement of marriage?
Ok let's clarify this point then. If the counterculture wanted the State out of their desire to live together, then why do Gays need the State to live together? Could it be that this is more about visiting dying people in hospitals and getting health insurance or what happens to the estate when someone dies? Taxes? inheritances? Or is it a need to be accepted by society?
Clearly Gays want the State involved if they are demanding laws be changed.

Then why is this entire thread about 'protecting' Ellen from the "anti-gay" Million Moms?
What words would you prefer me to use today to describe my views or to make my point? Can we poor unenlightened straight people get a memo so we know what word is appropriate this week?
People can also hate whoever they wish, like whoever they wish, do business with whoever they wish, associate with whoever they wish... and there is nothing... nothing that anyone can do to change that.

Do you actively seek to associate with groups/individuals whether it be hetrosexual, gay, republican, democrat, or any groups/individuals that you have no common interestes with. And, whose values are different than yours. I seriously doubt it. However, if you do your are indeed an exceptional person. These million moms are just voicing their displeasure with a company who chose to hire a controversial individual for their spokes person. They did not have any common interests or values with this spokes person and in their opinion it was a bad choice by J.C. Penny Company. They have the right to voice their opinion no matter what you or I think.

I'd love to see gays defend the rights of unborn fetuses displaying features of down syndrome.

That really is insulting.
Gays are individuals - - just like everyone else. They are not a group think.

Speaking of disabled people, I'd love to see gays defend the rights of unborn fetuses displaying features of down syndrome. Or liberals in general defending that. They defend the whales, the baby seals, wolves, plants, but not babies in utero who may have disabilities. Why is that? They believe in euthanasia and mercy killing. So, the unborn baby with disabilities somehow has even less rights than gays who want to be married, because now they are not even granted the right to life.

Super. So if we can remove the state from having anything to do with marriage and any legal requirements associated, it will only take a license from a church to be considered married. No problem there - there are plenty of churches willing to marry gays in the eyes of God. Church marriage was never the problem.
But until then, the state has ultimate control. So until this glorious time when the government is kicked out of the marriage business, and because the government claims to be a secular institution - gays (as consenting adults and tax-paying citizens) should be able to get a marriage license from the state.

So, is this a matter of getting the State involved or not?

You see, this just proves my point that you and others like you are members of a hate group who hates gays and lesbians with all your heart. Nothing will ever break through that hate because it is not based on logic or reason. You just said that no gays support the unborn fetus. I proved you wrong, but you won't admit it. This is hate at its worst.
Doesn't matter, though, because people like you are in the minority. Things are changing in this country regarding equal rights for gays, and you can't stop it.
