Apart from the near-Orwellian discourse over 'rights', what happens if voted through? What changes? Does it confer marriage rights in law that are not otherwise available to people for being people, regardless of who they are shacked up with? I mean, what sort of difference in the real world where the rubber meets the road does it make either way?
If the screaming banshees want a symbolic piece of paper that says "we're married" why not just give it to 'em comfortable in the knowledge no amount of look-a-moi ceremonies and certificates will ever sustain anything but a truly devoted and loving union. So let the kiddies play. It'll be more work for divorce lawyers in the end, so, I guess it's creating employment.
We had a similar sort of vote here a few years ago but I didn't pay attention. Can't see it making a lick of difference either way in the end. Straighters gonna straight. Gays are gonna gay. I don't shove my straight relationship down their throats, so if they don't shove their gay one in my face, we're all good.
