This is what makes me LOL about those who are bigoted against gays and feel that gay marriage will somehow erode the institution of marriage altogether. I don't know how much more MY life or MY personal relationships would change if gays were allowed to get married--I'd probably have a lot more weddings to attend, but that's about it.

But, now that I think about it, more weddings would break me! NO GAY MARRIAGE BECAUSE I AM TIRED OF BUYING PRESENTS FROM CRATE AND BARREL.

LOL.

Well, the lives of others do impact ours either immediately or over time. Across societies, norms, values, and laws have changed over time and these societies have changed with them (as either the direct cause of the change or a correlate of the change). Whether the change is perceived as positive or negative, there is change.

When I say "get out of the way," I'm not implying that people have no vested interest in what happens in a larger sense and that what happens has no impact on anyone beyond the actual actors.

Civil Unions can be had in Illinois beginning July 1. My family of divorce lawyers can't wait!

LMAO. I asked once in my facebook status if anyone had ever bought their furniture and one of my friends responded "of course I have, I'm a gay man, duh."
