I can respect a religious definition of marriage as a union between a man and a woman, religions are by definition resistant to change. But our modern American version of marriage is essentially a contract between two people enforced by the state. I don't see why the contract should have anything to do with the sex or color or religion of the people signing it.
Once you start codifying who can and cannot sign the contract, ugly futures start to come to mind. There are MANY people in the US who would want the rules to state that the people entering a marriage contract should be of the same base ancestry (no intermarriage).
