Whether or not gay marriage is recognized, gay couples will still file law suits if they feel that they are being treated unfairly. They will continue to file them until they feel that they are being treated justly. And eventually they will start to win.
And so what if everyone else has to deal with or is affected by this issue. This is no different from the racist white concierge having to check me into his hotel, even though it is killing him that a ni**a is sleeping on his sheets and swimming in his pool. I have never heard that allowing equal rights is optional if it makes others uncomfortable.

Marie,
That was the point I was making. People keep saying that gay marriage will not affect anyone...and that who they marry is their business...well you just made the point better than I did...EVERYONE Is going to be affected by this..

And lastly, if you were gay and checked into that hotel..you could have hid that if you wanted to...when you're black...you can't hide or change your mind about it. (unless you're Michael Jackson of course)
