Currently, gays and lesbians aren’t allowed to serve in the military unless they keep a large part of themselves hidden. Likewise, the multitude of rights provided to married Americans just do not apply to the gay and lesbian community.

Check out the divorce rate. Besides, when will the Mormons decide whether or not they believe in polygamy? When will the heteros who like the idea of polygamy be allowed to have multiple wives? I can have multiple girlfriends and get them all pregnant legally (if I weren't shooting blanks); but I can't marry more than one of them. I can do all the things of marriage with an unlimited number of women but go to jail if I marry more than one. How much sense does that make?????

I'm not going to make any public statement about whether I might or might not be heterosexual, either way. Okay, but that leaves me with one question: How do you rate?
