I disagree. I have yet to hear a convincingly valid argument for banning same-sex marriage. So far, all I have heard is:
1) that's not *my* definition so it shouldn't be changed
2) same sex unions don't include procreation so they are invalid
3) God says it's wrong.
Not a single one of these arguments is valid from a legal stand point in a country that has a Charter of Rights and Freedoms (or your local equivalent) or is secular in nature. These are opinions that are valid for an individual but not for a nation to adopt.
In the end, I don't want to have this discussion here. Please take it to one of the many threads where this can be argued ad nauseum.
