We'd all be better off just steering clear of this Prop 8 **** in any case. = /
I don't know about where you live, but in Australia marriage grants you a lot of advantages when it comes to owning and renting accommodation, government payments, co-owning bank accounts, etc. A *** couple would have less luck with this stuff than a straight couple would. And this is why homosexual couples wish to be able to marry. It's not pointless.
