A 26-year-old homosexual from Sacramento, California has so far expressed little interest in protesting the imposition of Proposition 8 - an amendment to the constitution of California banning gay marriage across the state - because he has no desire to marry at this time.

David Schultz, a business consultant from Sacramento's downtown area insists that the ban on same-sex marriages did little to affect his life when it was first ratified back in 2008 and he has even turned down several invitations to participate in various rallies and marches across the United States.

"A lot of my gay friends have given me hell over this whole issue, but I honestly couldn't care less at this point in my life", he told Fortnight America. "If getting married is so important to them then good luck; go and protest. But for me, I'm not going to give up my Saturday afternoons just to haul my ass two miles across the city waving some meaningless sign around".

"I just don't see what all the fuss is about", he added.

Same-sex marriages are permitted in just 6 of America's fifty states, while New Hampshire is moving ahead with proposals to instill such unions amid growing pressure from homosexuals and various liberal figures across the country.

But when asked whether he would consider relocating to the likes of Massachusetts or Iowa, Mr Schultz said he has no intention of moving any time soon: "Look, I'm just not ready to settle down and start a family", he said. "In fact, if I'm honest, the idea of marriage makes me feel sick just thinking about. I mean, why do people want to get married anyway? All that compromise and for what? I'm sorry but the more I think about it, the more repulsive it sounds".

Schultz's indifference to the marital process comes as a double blow to his parents, who had once hoped to see their only son get married to a nice, respectable woman and produce lots of grandchildren.
