There are plenty of arguments to give against gay marriage...here's mine.
Using the idea of there being both feminine and masculine parts of one's psyche, or even better, soul, we have to examine part of what several mainstream religions look at as a holy union: marriage between a predominantly masculine psyche and a predominantly feminine psyche. Marriage, in my opinion, needs to be looked at as the culmination of love - the becoming of a single entity in all senses: financial, emotional, spiritual and physical. The problem I have with gay marriage is that two predominantly masculine or two predominantly feminine souls are incapable of having either a physical or spiritual union. This is my opinion on gay marriage.
However, I am all for gay civil unions, and I am also all for the right for churches to choose whether or not they are for or against gay marriages, in the spiritual sense. I don't see any reason why two people who live together in very much a similar manner as a heterosexual couple shouldn't be getting the same benefits, in a legal sense. I also cannot even for a moment fathom why the FUCK the government is telling our churches what they can and cannot do.
