Now I admit, I am not one of the biggest romantics but marriage seems completely and utterly outmoded from my perspective...

Well then, you personally should not get married. Your opinion on this may (or may not) if you are in a realtioinship with someone that you are willing to commit to for life.
Its a personal choice and a legal contract. I could have lived with Mrs Flubber for 20 years and the leagl consequences on say my death would be very different than if we were married. I CHOOSE to enter into that union.

On in-your face homosexuals
I dislike anyone that is in-your-face on any issue when it is not the topic at hand. It does not matter if the person is outspoken on homosexuality, the environment, the republican party or whatever, it does not have to be the focus of every comment you make.
People that are so unidimensional in their converstaion are quite frankly, a bore and I avoid them. I once had an acquainatance drone on and on about the oppressive heterosexual environment of the restaurant our group was in.
I have not noticed that theme here much. People seem to be outspoken about sexual orientation issues in threads about that topic.

Woo... gay marriage.
I have been engaged for 8 months to my fiancee, and we are planning to go to Vermont (the only US state that allows "civil unions") in the fall to finalize the deal.
But, since the USA passed the "DEFENSE OF MARRIAGE ACT" in 1996, gay unions of any sort are outlawed in each state, unless a state allows them to be legitimate.
So if I get married in Vermont, it is illegal in Michigan, my home resident state, or Illinois, where the two of us currently live.
Of course, if my sister married her boyfriend in Vermont, it would be a legal contract in _any_ state.
And they say Federalism is the best form of government. 
Recently, my home county passed legislation giving same-sex couples work benefits, such as sharing medical plans and the like. Conservative lobbies argued that it was unfair to heterosexuals, since "unmarried heterosexuals" did not receive the benefits that "unmarried homosexuals" do.
All of this is a sickening, Catch-22 approach to politics, and -- unfortunately -- the same illogical arguments are being used overseas (and across the border in Canada). Feh. The poor heterosexuals; oh the humanity!
Ah well. One day I will have my own family; Jason and I want to adopt children. We still hope that one day we could have made a baby of our own; recent cloning reasearch has theorized that male eggs or female sperm can be made by extracting the DNA from an egg and placing the DNA of a sperm into it, and vice versa, allowing for children that are the biological product of two men or two women.
Again, with American conservatism on the rise, "cloning reasearch" (since common propaganda is deceptive into thinking any cloning research means making full human clones) is getting the sqeeze, along with most other civil liberties.
To what degree of buffoonery will those with power resort in order to keep their status?
It's just silly.

Yes, I am aware that the act violates the FF&C clause of the Constitution, but there is some loophole that was found to allow it to continue. I have forgotten what it was.
I'll have to reference that information again...
