<quoted text>OK, so we both agree child custody, spousal support and divorce laws will all change as a result of same sex marriage? This is understood? I think lawyers would profit from same sex marriage, I doubt anyone else will benefit.
Keep marriage as is, like it says in West Virginia Code - Chapter 48. Domestic relations - Article 2. Marriage
§48-2-603. Certain acts, records, and proceedings not to be given effect in this state.
A public act, record or judicial proceeding of any other state, territory, possession or tribe respecting a relationship between persons of the same sex that is treated as a marriage under the laws of the other state, territory, possession, or tribe, or a right or claim arising from such relationship, shall not be given effect by this state.
No marriage license or recognition, no other relationship or its recognition from other jurisdictions for same-sex couples.

Those things will change for same-sex couples and their families. If you are not in the same-sex couple or a child of a gay parent this doesn't have anything to do with you and you should mind your own business.

[i spelled it right]

and please explain how you could honestly believe only lawyers could benefit from same-sex marriage? Children of sex couples would be allowed on their parents' insurance, same-sex couples would be allowed to file taxes together and visit each other in the hospital. Have you not considered the other side of this issue at all?

If you pay taxes, gender segregation marriage is your business. New entitlements for same sex dependent beneficiaries is one example of wasteful government spending. Intrusive new marriage laws accompany new litigation and unprecedented rulings swayed by sympathy for a mascot victim group. Higher taxes to pay for it all.

What could be worse than same sex marriage?

Gays are a small minority group, not large enough to effect your taxes, and the new marriage laws won't affect you unless you are in a same-sex relationship. They haven't anywhere else in the world, and they won't here either.

I'm interested in what you think about same sex marriage supporters in Obama's IRS targeting conservatives and leaking tax return information to their allies in the media. Here's the IG's own report, so you can make up your own mind:

Marriage laws affect everyone, singles and married alike.

[Truth]

There are 2 others with the same tite. TRUTH and truth, same spelling different ways. Right now gays have a common bond with their partner and it is them against the world. So therefore they have a romantic bond. With the generation comming up of me me me, they will have their wish. But then after awhile they too will add to the divorce rate. And kids will be more effected if they have them

[Brian_G]

How can people talk about the truth, if the IRS is used to harass political opponents?

[Brian_G]

They admit the IRS leaked taxpayer information about conservatives to the media:

Reason 32 for keeping marriage one man and one woman, the IRS.
