My basic thought on this whole thing is:
Why should I give a shit who gets married, the only people so far that got married and I got a say in it were my wife and myself.(and I barely got a say in that). If two people want to show the rest of society that they are a couple, then go ahead. This is where we are sitting in this debate right now, because right now gay couples have the right to insure each other, they can make medical decisions for each other, they can file taxes together( not that, that usually helps) they just have no way of showing to their community that they are one.
People keep saying that they don't want these relationships to use the word "marriage", they somehow think that if G&L get to use the word then it will somehow cheapen or change the word when it is used to describe their union. Well I have seen a lot of "marriages" out there that do more to harm the word than some of the G&L couples I know could ever do.
This just comes down to bigotry, some want a part of society for themselves and no one else.
