i do not understand how anyone who wants less government intrusion in our lives has a problem with allowing gays to marry, to make certain life ending decisions for their partners, to visit their partner in a hospital as a would a family member....
family member is just lucky by birth, often family members don't even talk to each other, yet, under the current rules and laws, these potential asshole family members have more rights over someone they don't talk to, spend time with, than the homosexual's partner......inheritance, benefits, decisions
its plain stupid. what if i was just someone who never married, but had a brother i hated or a mother i rejected, and yet had just a platonic best friend that i trusted more than my own family.........
