This isn't fundamentally a marriage issue, it is a gay rights issue.

There are many gay married people-one prominent one is the former New Jersey governor McGreevey.

Yes they are, the issue is the redefiniton of marriage to fit newly mainstreamed forms of sexuality.

They are both biological aspects of a person that they could not change no matter how hard they try. Therefore, they should be treated the same.

Wrong. Your statement has no basis for fact. I mentioned McGreevey before. Up until recently he lived a perfectly heterosexual life. If it was something immutable, you wouldn't have people "coming out of the closet", there would have never been a closet. I can't all of the sudden decide, "You know, I'm not gonna be black". You CAN decide not to have sex with people of the same gender. Therein lies the difference-sexual orientation is based on actions, race isn't. No matter how much rap you listen to (or any other stereotypical black behavior), if you aren't black you won't become black. But if someone starts having relationships with members of the same sex, BAM you're gay.
And as I said before, it's really irrelevant. It's a definiton of marriage issue, not a "gay rights" issue.
