    I can't believe that people are so concerned about this issue...if they want to get married, I'm happy for them. There are so many more important issues that we could be putting money towards, rather than towards fighting against gay marriage, like giving aid to injured vets or feeding people in need. Why shouldn't gay couples have the same rights that straight couples have? I don't think that's fair to discriminate.

    Who cares if two people you don't even know want to get married and have a life together? What other people do in the privacy of their home does not affect anyone else. If the two men living across the street from me get married it has absolutely nothing to do with me and zero impact on my life and on my individual rights. Let whoever wants to get married do so if they want. We should all pay a little more attention to our own lives and stay out of other peoples bedrooms.

    Huh. So, really, you should just fire all married employees, or employees with kids. Especially married employees with kids - just think how much _that_ adds to your health insurance bill every year. All those braces, kids falling off swing sets breaking their arms, prenatal care costs, c-sections: oh, you definitely don't want any married men that have those sorts of concerns on your payroll. Then there's the single parents, always having to pick their kids up from school, leaving on time at the end of the day in order to go home and take care of their kids. So, no single parents - they're going to cost you money on health insurance, plus they have concerns other than work. Don't forget about female employees going on maternity leave. You should definitely fire all female employees before they have the chance to get pregnant and waste thousands of dollars in insurance on their pregnancies, maternity leaves, and all the sick time they'll use up taking care of their children. Maybe you just shouldn't hire women at all. Women's rights and the Family Medical Leave Act be damned.

    Looking at it that way, single gay men might be your best option as employees. They're the least likely to get married or have children. You might be able to have employees that for years will be dedicated only to your company, with no outside worries like families or children. Just think how much more productive that would be.
