Yeah, what a total fuckass numbnuts. Interracial couples love eachother and so do gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual, pansexual and other such couple or tuple combinations. The sex part has nothing to do with the marriage part. It's similar to how two cars or different shape size and color can end up in the same garage /driveway/dealership etc. None of the car features have anything to do with how the cars ended up where they ended up at. It's love fora specific car or interest on a specific feature or need for a specific horsepower that makes a person get a specific car. And so it is with the ones we love... Maybe I'm short and I want my other to be tall to be different or maybe short like me to mutually enjoy our height. I wish I could define true love but it's probably all those things in a single action and so marriage to that person symbolizes the bond. It also brings all the same tax benefits. Why should people only have Toyotas or Fords, if they want both, give them both. Heck if they want two small cars, a van for the kids and a truck for the weekend rally (WTF is that?) that's fine. Let them! They paid for the vehicles. Similarly, if you want a lovely person or an ugly one or a tall or skinny or fat or thick or strong other, let us! There's nothing wrong about it and it's only our business. There's nothing between me and my loved ones where any of us care to know what your opinion of us might be. You, the government, are just an asshole getting in the way. Like a dating app... An asshole who wants 50 cents getting in the way.
