I have never understood why some people are so passionate about making marriage illegal for homosexuals to the point of passing a constitutional amendment on the matter.

It's the money.

Any two people in America are free to form any kind of legal partnership that they want and bestow any amount of worldly goods on the other -- and ,as far as I know, powers of attorney, etc. However, the only way that homosexuals can latch on to retirement benefits and social security benefits and health plan benefits is to get homosexual marriage legalized so that they can make a claim on their partner's employer.

Carry that to the extreme and employers and the government will soon find themselves priced out of their various insurance plans. There will be a seismic shift in the way benefit plans are administered across the nation. Stay at home moms and children will be the losers here.

So in a nutshell you're saying screw one group for the benefit of another group?

Doesn't that make the homosexuals the victims in this case?
