The Gay Marriage Threat

Thoughts?
We are a group of friends and acquaintances -- a merry band of pranksters indeed -- who have been arguing about politics on-and-off, then really on, then a little off... since 1998. On email. But that meant literally thousands of emails a year. That was too many. So here's the blog dedicated to carrying on that spirit of political and pop culture argument and dialogue. You might think of us as "schmoliticians", because while we take politics seriously, we try not to take ourselves quite so.

Privatize marriage now.
Agreed. Marriage should be privatized. Although, there would have to be some legal standing for which couples could apply for tax, beneficiary, survivorship, end-of-life, custody, and insurance issues. Maybe state-sanctioned civil unions with limited scope for whomever wants 'em.
BTW, loved the Rock Creek Rambler post. It really is amazing how ridiculous the religious right has become. They have completely lost touch with reality. Must be that the gay marriage-induced global warming has fried their brains.
My absolute fave: "...the most compelling argument is the semantic argument. We can't let gay marriage happen or else your mom and dad will turn into words. And you don't want that. You can't hug a word, or borrow its car keys. A word isn't going to pay your college tuition."
Good stuff.
