Let me first start by saying that I'm a happy hetrosexual who's married, but currently seperated. My marriage - well I'm yet to find out whether it can be revived, but it was not even 5 years when my husband moved out.

Now tonight there was an article on 60 Minutes about gay marriages. Me personally, I do not have a problem whatsoever about 2 people of the same sex making a 'commitment to each other' and having that be classed as legal. Let me clarify further, by saying that in Australia it is not legal and is a far way off from ever becoming so.

I'm not religious at all. So to my way of thinking, 'marriage' is exactly that. A commitment between 2 people to be truthful to each other and support that person thru thick and thin. No where in the vows that I recited did it ever say anything about abiding by every homophobic's conditions. My marriage is between my husband and I and no one has ever butted in on this. Now why do some people feel that they have the right to stipulate whether a gay couple can have this same right. And by saying this, I'm talking purely about the commitment side - not about having children as my views are slightly different on this subject.

I'm interested in TFPer's views as perhaps I keep missing something when this topic arises.
