Same-sex Marriage Nixed In Nevada

 Heterosexual marriage is the foundation of society, and the state of Nevada has chosen to uphold it.  Same sex marriage is neither recognized nor valid in the state of Nevada.  How would Nevada benefit if same-sex marriage were legal?  Is it a civil rights issue?  No.  Nevada offers domestic partnerships to same-sex couples. I know what many same-sex couples want.  They want their marriage to eventually achieve legitimacy.  Some things are legal and legitimate.  Some things are legal and illegitimate.  For example:  abortion is legal, but it is an illegitimate way to end a life.  Same-sex marriage is a contradiction in terms, an oxymoron.  It cannot be marriage.  It will never be marriage.  You can call it that if you want to, but it does not make it so.  Apparently, Nevada understands that.
