Ah, yes... I finally found what I was looking for. And I had to go all the way back to page 88 to get it. For the record, italiangm joined this debate around page 81, and I joined around page 82...
The two of us exchange a few ideas, and then, on page 88, after I finally clarified italiangm's ridiculous position, I point out what I believe to be the major flaw:
Quote:
And yet, can a gay couple experience pregnancy within the relationship? NO. But a heterosexual couple certainly can. And pregnancy typically leads to some significant life changes, such as quitting a career, for example. Pregancy does not always result in a child, but it certainly has a profuound impact on the couple.
So how can you continue to claim that a gay couple is the legal equivalent of a heterosexual couple? It's ridiculous to assert that the two should be treated equally.

And here, for the first time, we see italiangm's canned response:
Quote:
Repeating the same mantra over and over again without any new support for your opinion doesn't further this debate. Each of your claims has been countered repeatedly and successfully, whether you agree or not.
If I see something worth debating, I'll jump right in and advise my worldview on the issue. Otherwise, my participation ends with an agreement to disagree.

So it would seem that italiangm is in the habit of claiming victory when in fact no substantive response has ever been provided.
