California Voters Approve Gay-Marriage Ban

Same-sex married couples, for instance, can’t file joint federal returns, which have the effect of lowering taxes, because the Internal Revenue Service defines a marriage for federal tax purposes as “only a legal union between a man and a woman as husband and wife.”

There are such things as White Marriages. Thus two men can apply to be legally married without any intention of having sex together or even of living together and get their tax liabilities reduced. Which is to say having it off at the expense of the rest.

I thought her saying that her daughter had come out of the closet was a rather unfortunate way of expressing her emotional thoughts.

I hope legislation isn't proceeding on the basis of a daughter's personal experiences. I had a sense that if her daughter had never been in the closet or had never come out of it the lady would be taking a different view.

It was embarrassing really. Any actress could have performed the routine.

I suspect everybody's intentions who gets up on a public platform and starts spouting. Even my own.

And the more experience they have of the activity the stronger my suspicions become. Milking the udder of human kindness is the easiest way of getting on in life. Farmers and engineers are the kindest groups of people there ever can be. Others are creaming increments of their efforts off for their own use.

I'm not about to start believing every emotional rant I witness.

And don't talk to me about liberty because I have been on active service to defend ours. And had one uncle killed, one vanished and one crippled for life defending our liberties. That sort of cheap talk makes me sick and it should make everybody else sick too. Waving Liberty about so you can get married to some bloke.

Marriage was invented to deal with womanhood. Monogamy was invented to share out the burden equally. Chastity was invented to ensure that sex had that burden to deal with as its price.

And any lady is perfectly entitled to present the corollary but only if she forgets that women are more difficult to deal with than men. Which no real Lady would ever dream of doing what with men being, in the words of Germaine Greer, like carrots: cheap and plentiful and easily cooked.

So you want to be married without this burden. A get rich quick scheme it seems to me. Posturing with peeled onion in hand.

LGTB is about nothing else but sex.
