57. Follow the money...this is about expanding spousal rights
not about sexuality.
Homosexuality has been documented since the dawn of civilization. In some culture it is seen as a divine gift...a mysterious unexpected orientation. Which may seem personally non-adaptive but which may greatly benefit the group.
The issue in 2004 is that employers and the federal government are interested in reducing costs. Denying homosexual partners the rights of spouses is nothing but an attempt to be CHEAP.
The cloaking of the argument in religious issues is only an attempt to justify what is otherwise unjustifiable.
