Senator Frist: Favors Constitutional Amendment to Ban "Gay Marriage"
Here's where I stand. Gay couples should have the same rights and privileges as heterosexual couples. The problem is that the government does not recognize homosexual unions. So they do not have the opportunity to have a state sanctioned partnership or union.
I also think that heterosexual couples who are not married should not have the same privileges as married couples. Not because I think that there is anything immoral or unholy or evil about it, but because married couples make a legal partnership that is hard to undo. Two people living together without a legal bond can decide to split at any time.
So we should allow homosexual couples to make a legal commitment, call it a marriage or a union or a partnership or whatever. But if they do that then the partner should be able to get health insurance just as a spouse or to make medical decisions and, yes, be able to sue for divorce.
