Er . . . there is a difference though, in that few homosexualists are particularly interested in the institution of marriage. Old Mr. Grew my neighbour was telling me that just the other day. He said they are in general much more interested in promiscuity. Among heterosexualists I estimate eighty per centum yearn for the married state. Among homosexualists perhaps twenty-five per centum. So the real need is the abolition of the concepts of "marriage" and the "family" altogether we think; until that day comes there can be no true "equality" can there.

I respectfully disagree, Mrs K - allowing homosexual marriage shouldn't affect those who don't want to marry (just as it shouldn't affect heterosexuals who don't want to marry). Now, if your point is that the exaltation of marriage by the state (through tax breaks and other benefits, eg) leaves those who choose not to marry feeling like second-class citizens, then that is a valid argument, but not one covered in the debate around Proposition 8.

Presumably with the approval of a state governor well-versed in dicing and mincing?
