remember when "gay" meant happy?

K asked me the other day why "gay" can refer to both men and women but Lesbian only to women.  I told him I didn't know exactly but the latter was derived from a historical place near Greece.

Ever notice when gay couples started getting married, it ceased being referred to "gay marriage" and is now simply "same-sex marriage?" I figured it had to do with the "gay" being not PC when considering it defaultly means men, but I'm starting to wonder if the whole "same-sex" aspect to be less PC to transgendered persons. Gender is not equal to sex and I was under the impression that the rainbow was the whole LGBT spectrum. Or is it LGBTQIA?

Anyways, a marriage license isn't all it is cracked up to be, as the saying goes, half of marriages end in death. With that in mind, I figure that the happiness over the marriage equality ruling will be short-lived by advocates for "same-sex" marriage when they notice those non-same sex couples with children that don't get married.

In the grand scheme of everything, marriage is a tax, just like any other fee paid towards a government entity.
