Yes. I don't think same sex couples deserve any benefits of marriage.

Thanked: 223
I went for the third option as well. They can have a bunch of rights, all the rights they want as far as I'm concerned. I disagree with their lifestyle and many of their choices but they're THEIR choices so they can do whatever they want.
On the other hand, certain things just cannot be.
A fish is not a bird, a man can not bear a child and two people of the same sex can not be married.
It might be semantics but that's the way life is. Mariage is for a man and a wife, not a man and a man or a woman and a woman.
If they want to make a civil contract, or a promise to each other or a covenant with each other that's just fine. But it'll never be a mariage because a mariage is a union between a man and a wife.
Anything else is not a mariage, they may be partners but they're not each others spouse. Complaining about that is like complaining that the sky's blue. You might not agree but that's the way it is and no matter how much you complain it's not going to change just because you don't like it.
