You have to put a limit on marriage somewhere, and I think it's just fine where it is - the same institution that's lasted for a long time.

This same apples to oranges comparison is constantly used here in Utah. Children and animals CAN NOT GIVE CONSENT to sexual activities or marriage. Gay adults can. Adults who want more than one spouse or want to share a spouse can. And as squicky as I find it, related people can too.
Heterosexuals are doing enough to damage the sacred institution of marriage - I don't think we need to worry about how gay people are going to threaten ours.
