Prop 8

As a straight man I feel my opinion on gay marriage is as relevant as my opinion on a woman's right to choose, hunter's right to hunt or priest's right to touch. (for the record yes, yes, yes, no)

Anyways, my opinion on gay marriage makes no difference and should be as much part of the debate as paris hilton's view on anything but green lit porn with raccoon eyes.

Still, I do not get it. How can we not take the opportunity to tax the shit out of those section of the population. The gays as anatomy has taught us, can not reproduce without the help of science. Most of the gays therefore do not waste their money on things like diapers, college, abortions or therapy for the touching. They have nicer houses, nicer cars, better clothes and can afford to eat only organic foie gras or whatever they may want. The reasons gays are into such weird shit is that they can afford the nicest leather pants and the therapy it takes to get over whatever caused boy george.

We should let these people marry so we have a way of tracking who they are and levying a nonkids tax on anyone who marries someone of the same sex. Gays gets bumped up to a higher bracket unless they adopt or do whatever else those people do to get kids. redistribute the wealth from those smart enough not to have kids to those who do reproduce. I guess there is the problem of what to do with straight people who dont reproduce, but we can ignore that problem.

Or we can just grant people the right to marry another individual of any sex, or at the very least do away with a civil "marriage" and rename all civil unions just that civil unions. Religions can marry all they want whoever they want, but the only kind of union the state recognizes is the civil union between two consenting adults, wow, I am brilliant. Glad I can overshadow this keen insight with a bad catholic and abortion joke.
