The problem is, the R's do not want sep. of church and state. So, the gays are forced to work within that. It's a vicious cycle. But, your argument is specious because prohibition of types of marriages and benefits given to married people is far older than 150 years Also, the R party wants to put gay people in jail for having sex, not to mention unmarried people and, also, married people if they perform fellatio (sodomy) on each other. That is just fukced up

I would invite you to find a single republican in office that has said that they want to lock up gay people or unmarried people, or anyone having oral sex. That is a plain lie. No one has said anything like that in 50 years, unless you're fringy. Besides, I mean, remember Larry Craig? He's a closeted gay man and no republican is trying to kill him or arrest him for sodomy. The people who went after him the most were democrats! This is just plain absurd!

Marriage licenses have not been around for more than 150 years, that is also incorrect. The benefits given to married people have also not been around since then because we've only had a national tax system since around World War I. Health Insurance hasn't been around that long either. I don't know where you're getting your information, but it's wrong.
