"The president will have to explain which of the rights that accrue to straight couples he would deny gay couples. Would he deny them the right to visit their partner in a hospital? The right to a partner's health insurance? The right to sponsor a loved one for immigration? The right to Social Security survivor benefits, automatic inheritance, family and medical leave?"

Leaving out ~immigration~ and noticing the word ~automatic~ slithering in there, all these "rights" are available through legal means.

The idea of secular gay marriage is damning on its face when the results are viewed in Europe. The concept of marriage is destroyed.

I've visited friends in hospital. I didn't realize I was married to them.
