What I mean by that is for instance if you have no family and you have a gay partner and are in the hospital, I think the partner should be considered family as a spouse would be and able to make the decisions a spouse could make. And I think they should get the same tax breaks that a married couple gets. Why? Just because I think it is the right thing to do if it is a committed relationship as a marriage is. Some places have civil unions, but not all places do.
The tax breaks thing is what gets me the most. Why should they get tax breaks when they are the MAIN CAUSE of AIDS, Hep A, B, C, D, etc, and a plethora of other problems. I see no same courtesy given to smokers. In fact, things have
cracked down on us. And we're not putting the human race in jeopardy. Only ourselves.
By all means, let your partner make the decisions that need to be made if you're a gay man in need of hospital care, but tax breaks, and other gratuities that regular married couples get? I can't roll with that. You're trying to equate that homosexuals are normal couples. Sorry, but I think not. What they do is CLEARLY abnormal. It has just become a bit more accepted in modern society.
Tell me, soleil...are we going to eventually accept pedophilia, necrophilia, or bestiality as normal activities sometime in the future. I believe the discussion we are having now begs that question.
