When you give benefits to one class of people but not to another, and you base the availability of those benefits on gender and sexuality, you have enacted AFFIRMATIVE ACTION.

Take away all legal benefits of marriage and I won't bitch. But, keep segregating benefits in this way and you are supporting affirmative action.

Exactly my point [img]smile.gif[/img] As for entrenchment....sometimes I just get too tired to keep up the devils end [img]smile.gif[/img] in this case..the thread was getting to be more and more about homosexuality and frankly my dear..I don't care about it. I was just trying to expose why things were the way they were and how we got to where we are....not trying to defend or castigate peoples personal sexual proclivities.....feel free to take over the pitchfork and tail TL
