1. Gays should have equal rights.

Alternatively, gays should be left alone by the government in precisely the same way as straights.

Well, how about we use ordinary courtesy, and let all the inhabitants of Lesbos, most of whom are heterosexuals, travel abroad without fear or ridicule?
Sappho of Lesbos made Lesbian a sexual term, so we could use Sapphonista, or Sapphonite.

1. Gays should have equal rights.

2. Marriage is best left to private law like related estate law it should belong to.

3. Conan, with some editing of grammar, that could become an ALS quote.

@3 Marriage in the US entitles people to several extra rights such as hospital visitation, tax benefits, adoption laws, ect. Granted I feel that the government should have no involvement in marriage I will say that under our current system there is a preference given to married people.

Yeah but when people tell you that you can’t go there then sometimes the incentive is higher.

I can’t imagine why they want the approval of the state so badly. Only 200 years ago you could get married in a church, on a ship or various other places and simply write it in the back of the bible. The marriage was recognised in the common law courts but the government neither knew nor cared. I imagine you could have married your pet parrot if you felt like it (provided it said I do).

These days, formal marriage is subject to Commonwealth legislation and invokes a whole series of legal consequences that are not necessarily positive. There are good reasons for not going there, gay or straight.
