Miller, in acknowledging his support for HR 3006 (a bill to ammend immigration laws to substitute "committed, intimate relationship" and "partner" for "marriage" and "spouse", thus allowing non-married persons the same rights as married persons in immigration considerations), said this:

"It is a limited, modest, legal recognition of a long-term relationship so we aren't forcing gays to be in temporary, casual relationships."

WHAT?!?!  By simply acknowleding the millenia-old societal respect for committed marriage, as opposed to shackin' up or livin' in sin, we are somehow "forcing" homosexuals into casual relationships?

Where's the gun to their head?  Where's the coersion?  Where's the whips-and-chains (not that they'd object...)?  What happened to the concept of personal responsibility?

This sort of "it's never the 'victim's' fault" mentality just makes me want to puke.
