Gay Marriage Bill Passed in New York's State Government.

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

Eh? Marrying in some other place which explicitly does allow such marriages doesn't count: if you are in the Atacama and need a drink the fact that there really is a lot of water elsewhere on the planet doesn't do any good.

I meant "marry" in the way Sapho of Lesbos got married, or Alexander, or Xenophon, Philip of Macedon (he was bi though).

But straight men or women can do precisely that with the update to the law. That's why it's called same-sex marriage.

So is this not a "Gay rights" issue then?

Why do we even have the "Gay concept", why is anyone defined by their sexual preference? Who cares unless you want to have sex with them?

I agree, same with many others like "black/white", why can't people be more colourblind or sexblind.

While homosexuality and heterosexuality is discussed a lot, what about things like asexuality and why do we need to place so much emphasis on sex at all?
