I went to the poll today to cast my vote on the NC Marriage Amendment [politico.com]. As expected, there were a lot of lesbians against the amendment standing outside the polling place. None of them were hot. Not one. Just a whole bunch of greying, shabbily dressed, hairy legged women with signs. It seems like the lesbian community could have put on a much better display to influence public opinion outside the polls.
No lipstick. No kissing. All in all a big disappointment.

Some people would debate whether or not it's more foolish to have a spouse than not, though
No gay marriage = Obama's secret plan to grow the economy.
who should it be made up to is a much bigger scope of a question, but theoretically some of that extra money they're being taxed is getting filtered back in to the markets they're taking away from by living together.
And I would like to see even one example where the government has taken money from an individual who earned it, in the form of taxes, filtered it through the government bureaucracy and waste and had it come out the other end where it was spent more efficiently than the individual could have spent it.
If marriage is so wonderful in taking care of our citizens then why not allow multiple husbands and wives? If some is good then more is better right?

I was simply pointing out that there's very little functional difference, if all tax conditions associated with marriage are removed, between filling out the various forms that are implied with a marriage if one hasn't filled them out separately (since you indicated you wouldn't support civil unions that were free of tax conditions but carried the other associations).

The government didn't decide the definition of marriage, the people did, by their vote.
Do you support civil unions that don't have tax associations and if so is the paperwork thing really that important in your choice? If not then why use that as your primary discussion point?

Looks like it was approved by a wide margin. Hopefully the lesbians bring their A game to the polls next time around.
