I don't see what the big deal is. If gay people want to get married, let them. If they want to adopt children, well, good for them. It just opens the door for a helluva lot of more kids to get a decent home. Or do anyone here wish to support the notion that a child would be worse off with loving gay parents than in an orphanage?
There is nothing "natural" about marraige. There is nothing that makes us monogamous other than our own societal views, and a lot of people end up with multiple sexual partners during their lives, so monogamy is a load of horseshit nowadays.
The fact that there is separation of the Church and the State makes the State's definition of marraige a legal one and therefore all the other laws apply to it. It can be changed as society changes, and typically those changes happen a lot faster than changes in religious beliefs. Want proof? Divorce. Why arent' the anti-gay marriage lobbyists arguing against divorce, since it's up to around a 50% rate for marraige failure now.
If you think that allowing gays to marry will cheapen the relationship that YOU have with YOUR wife/husband, then show some examples of how it will occur. Will knowing that the two gay guys next door might be bumfucking each other at the same time you're making love to your wife un-man you so? Are they forcing you to watch? Do they phone you in the middle and invite you over?
