In reply to Herb Baumhoefner.

Facts? The facts are that marriage is, was, and always has been a union between a man and a woman. This ruling and what certain people think does not change that fact. One may wish to live a life in some kind of legal union with a person of the same sex, or maybe with 2 or 3 other people, or whatever else you want, but that is not a "marriage." If this were purely about obtaining government tax and other benefits for any kind of union of 2 people, then it should have been addressed that way instead of attempting to redefine the meaning of a word that has a very specific meaning.
