California set to teach gay history and rights in schools
California is set to become the first US state to require the teaching of gay history and rights.
California law already requires schools to cover the contributions to the state and nation of women, African Americans, Mexican Americans, entrepreneurs, Asian Americans, European Americans, American Indians and labour activists. The new bill will also add the disabled to the list.

Well then the ''union'' will be called a UNION not MARRIAGE because my sweet friend MARRIAGE is a SOCIAL INSTITUTION not your PERSONAL PROPERTY.

I think that line is drawn here. Intimate relationships are just that and are not to fall under the realm of *any* authority. It is intimate.
Maybe you'd like a community vote on who you're allowed to marry and when and perhaps you'd like your virginity tested and maybe you'd like to surrender your firstborn to the church or the government for their purposes...and maybe then you'll see how bloody absurd your comment there really is.
Vote, indeed.

In my personal view, any opposite sex couple which choses against having a chilld isn't married.

You can get married and never have children, the whole having children thing is what we have created and related to it through out the years! After all, isn't that the reason we have opposite partners so you can pro-create? But you don't need to be married to do that!
Marriage is just a way of saying "I HAVE OWNERSHIP OF YOU"
Wow, first from where you got the 10% data???

it's like not allowing lefties to be openly lefties,
because righties are the majority.. and "right"

Sheesh. It's pretty obvious most of those against GAY marriage have insecurities with their own sexuality, one way or another.

What about incest or kiddy fiddlers because one day this minority will make up 1-10% of the population if the word goes out from the NWO to encorage them and i'm sure they could both argue that it is not harming anyone and can produce examples in nature to back up these claims.
