I have traveled this fair land for a number of years, and instead of relying on motels/hotels with their 4 walls, I opted for sharing a home(CL)with folks with kids, pets, etc. I usually spent several months in each place my company sent me, hence my desire for something more than those 4 walls at the end of the day.
I have shared homes with hetero couples, gay couples, lesbian couples and just about everything in between.
The gay and lesbian folks were no different that the hetero couples, i.e. they were intelligent, committed to one another and their pets and kids, and worked hard at their chosen professions---nurses, business owners, army officers, doctors, hair stylist, political script writers, etc., etc. They always treated me with respect, as I did them.
Put me squarely in the 39% who oppose this slap in the face of some good Americans, who only want the right to have the right to be treated fairly. My 2cents, and opinion based on years of observing(living with) just plain folks in both hetero and same sex relationships.
This is not a religious issue, it's a societal issue. All throug history societies realized the importance of heterosexual marriages for the raising of children the continuing of a healthy society. Even the Babylonians, where homosexuality was more prominent, had rules specific to heterosexual marriages because of the importance of societal order.
Its just another way to control people...against
Very few take marrage seriously anymore. I don't see the point
If I was all about money and how much I could make so I could retire comfortably at a very young age, I would have studied family law and become a lawyer
Not cynical, just realistic
If you had graduated from high school, then graduated from college, then been accepted into law school, then graduated law school, then passed the bar exam and admitted to practice, you would have learned that a divorce practice is one of the most demanding, least lucrative fields of legal practice.
the field of law. I lived in DC where you can't swing a dead cat without hitting an attorney
I know this Middleman. I'm talking money right now, not sanity. I opted for a fun job....and here I am
