Since homosexuality has thrived since times immemorial... it is inevitable that the day arrive when they ask for lawful recognition of their union. (aarrggghh!) Truthfully enough, im not very comfortable with the whole idea. But i am able to feel for their position and wish them only well. Aye, to legalisation! Individuals,regardless of their "choice" should always have the right to choose whom they please.Basic human right! Matrix, while i agree with you on several factors, i have to say the "notion" about love has its charms. Too many songs and poems have been written on that particualr subject.I guess we have been thoroughly brainwashed huh? ;) And well, marriage remains for many still , a sacred ritual you go through with someone you hope to grow old with, guaranteed ofcourse with seasons of downpour and sunshine and hail and occasional rainbows. :) Gone with the wind...
