Straight or Homosexual What is the Difference

It is the year 2008 and still there are very biased views on same sex marriage. I think that this is a topic between man and god not man and government, Ask yourself why can two men or two women not love each other just as much as a man and a woman.

When there is a gay couple and something like this happens normally a family member has to step in to take over, how is that fair? Health benefits is probably one of the best perks from marriage many women who want to be stay at home moms rely on their husbands to...
