I'm not saying we are living in the dark ages - but what is Britain doing to recognize gay marriage? it's not only an issue here - but an issue everywhere. In many respects - the US through the various states are ahead of europe in what rights homosexuals have. Society will have to change the definition of marriage. I see nothing wrong with civil-unions and giving homosexual couples the same rights - but I don't think that it should be a "marriage" in the traditional sense. Gay couples can adopt in NJ, can have visitation rights of children if they break up, can visit in the hospital. I think they should also be allowed to be able to make life and death decisions too.

I don't think that gay marriage should be forced on any state, just like I don't think that a same-sex marriage ban should be part of the constitution. I think that each state should define what is right for themselves and I think that their decision should not be forced on any other state. I also think that it should be a LEGISLATIVE decision not a JUDICIAL decision. Judges do NOT make law - they enforce laws.
