Radio host Michael Medved often debates this topic with leftist guests and callers. His favorite example is the one about his mother and her sister. They lived together for 30 years, did everything together, ran a business together, they were the best of friends. He always asks the homo activists why his mother and aunt shouldn't have had access to same-sex partner benefits and/or marriage? They loved one another dearly and shared a life together.
The activists and leftists never, NEVER have a good answer. They just want to dismiss it as an illegitimate question. But it isn't. I could certainly see widows/widowers or lifelong single people deciding to make a life together, live in the same home, share income, run a business, etc. It happens quite frequently. And why SHOULDN'T they be able to get "same-sex married"?
Because it's all about sodomy. And they don't want to admit it.
