#1 "all people and their relationships with equal dignity"

Here comes polygamy - using the same specious reasoning, and destroying any semblance of meaning the word "marriage" has as anything other than a civil contract for tax and legal purposes.

#3 Part of the big problem with the iteration of feudal socialism we've implemented in this society is that noone is actually really _paid a unit of money for a unit of work_. Instead you get some money, plus about half of it in "benefits." Of course whose benefits are good and whose aren't, whether you can get an MRI or not, or your pension fund is backed up by the Feds or not... that's where the whole inequality before the law and in payment for work comes in, in ways it's difficult for a peon to prove. Marriage, and now Gay Marriage, is just another way to game the system now.

#4 California is broke. They are looking forward to "civil union" license fees as a source of revenue. It is the left coast.

#5 It'll cost them a lot more in pension plans.

In the end, there will be only chaos.

#8 I'd be okay with this if he actually meant it, but he's simply making yet another calculated statement. Back when he was running, he said it should be up to the voters to decide, and now he's taken the exact opposite position. Of course, I'm sure his first statement was as insincere as the last one.

#9 Ebbang, the difference is that Moonbeam has the political experience that he can actually get things done. That's probably a bad thing.
