Personally I think that, as a tradition, marriage should be kept between a man and a woman. At the same time, homosexual couples definitely need the same rights as married couples. Visitation rights for instance, how wills work, finances being in both names, etc. So as opposed to marriage I'd prefer to see a state recognized "Union." If this could not be achieved, I'd support marriage anyways because people deserve equal rights. I guess I'm simply old fashioned about how I would define marriage.
One problem I have though with gay marriage being allowed though, is that an arguement is given that 'its between consenting adults, who's to stop it'. But what about polygomy? Most people find this repulsive, yet its between consenting adults. The slippery slope is always a weak arguement - but its still a valid concern I think.
