Frankly, I couldn't care less if gays/gender benders/whatever marry. I think they should be entitled to the benefits of marriage, i.e. hospital visits, right of survivorship, whatever.
Can't figure out why they'd WANT to be married, though. That introduces alimony to the equation. Don't they have ENOUGH problems?
The only reservation I have is with calling it "marriage." To use cowboy logic, "Putting your boots in the oven don't make them biscuits."
So what's the consensus on creating some type of civil union for gays that confers all rights/responsibilities of marriage, but calls it something else? Would that work, or is calling it "marriage" the ONLY acceptable solution?
