Circuit Court of Appeals: Still looney after all these years
I'll throw my two cents into this mess. I am a supporter of
traditional marriage. At the same time, I don't support the
Defense of Marriage Act because I believe the issue is something
that should be left to the states. In fact, I'm preferential to
the idea that the states don't issue marriage licenses at all
but rather recognize any two people who apply for partnership
for the purpose of legal benefits normally bestowed on married
individuals. Leave 'marriage' to the religious institutions.
They can be like honorary doctorates; recognize them if you want
to but they don't really mean much officially.  As to the civil
rights issue of gay marriage: if you want to argue for equality,
are you willing to argue
