"Anyone can marry a person of the opposite sex so there is no discrimination." This is like saying that requiring blacks to attend one school system and whites another is not discrimination because the same restrictions apply to both--whites can't go to the black schools any more than blacks can go to the white schools. And, believe me, this argument was made... |

Actually, it's not like that at all. I have tried to help you understand this issue, but you're clearly determined to remain ignorant. So be it. I've done all I can do. |

Gays are allowed to marry any consenting, non-related adult of the opposite sex in the US, just as heterosexuals are. They are treated exactly the same. |

And what was that that was going on in San Francisco's City Hall all of last week? Or did somebody cut off SF and float it out to sea and it's no longer part of the US? George Z. |

No, they ceremonies have been performed, and the certificates, same as the one my wife and I have, have been issued. Those certificates are not valid. I am not so sure about that. True, IMHO they should not have been issued but since they WERE issued by competent authority they are as valid an any other license issued by the government. Marriage is controlled by the government power to issue licenses. I say good luck to all who embark on the great adventure of marriage. Take care, -- Ajax Telamon "No profession or occupation is more pleasing than the military; a profession or exercise both noble in execution and noble in its cause. No utility either more just or universal than the protection of the repose or defence of the greatness of one's country. The company and daily conversation of so many noble, young and active men cannot but be well-pleasing to you." Michel de Montaigne (1588) |

But competent authorities, not something SF is known for in its city government, do not have the power to alter state govermental forms (as SF did). That alone, should make all those licenses invalid. --Mike |
