Gay marriage. What a lovely topic to bring up at the conservative right-wing dinner party. Evil ol' me.
Basically, it hasn't been supported by the United States government for the reason everyone has given. Organized r-e-l-i-g-i-o-n. They have power and they use it to influence where and whenever they can because they believe what they believe...strongly at that. Politicians are afraid of losing votes, so they keep it from being legalized.
Now there are some big business types that wouldn't be so happy to see gay marriages recognized as legit. They would then have to include all those new spouses and children onto the benefits roster and that would cost them a fortune in additional premiums. Literally, multi's of millions of dollars. There's that to consider too. They wouldn't dare come out and say anything directly as it would hurt their bottom line. But as the religious ones do, the big business types let it be known which way they want their politicians to vote. But it's money they care about, not morals.
Good question, Tom.
~sits with jeanne and checks out Tom's ass~ Yep, it is mighty fine.
