marriage rights and parenting licenses

homosexuals / lesbians / transwhatevers* are going about things all wrong. seriously, trying to get recognition for gay marriage is just about on par with feminists burning their bras instead of their high heels.

* the problem with the alternately sexually inclined is that whenever one gets representation the others are all left behind. once gay males are dealt with fairly, then the females gets angry. once they're okay then those of minority races realize that they're still getting shafted. we're improving, but slowly. some of us never had issues with "equality for all", and don't see why they can't fight with the system without fighting with the people.

what they *should* be going for, and in this the rest of us should join them, is the eradication of marriage incentives so that anyone who has children, regardless of sex or religion, can benefit from state support.

one related issue that concerns me is the amount of effort that goes into preventing "unworthy" people (like gay couples) from adopting unwanted / abused / orphaned children. until someone does something wrong, you can't know what kind of parent they're going to be! so either get rid of the restrictions, or stop letting every tom, dick and sally have kids without being tested against the same criteria.

choose: one way or the other. you really can't be unfair to only the group that has trouble with / doesn't want to go through the whole conception ordeal. we have far more kids in need of homes than the other way around.
