Well....that's been the tradition of religious rituals worldwide for many millenium, bringing procreative partners into the fold....and at heart most of the religions, at the core moral base they not only see fixated buggery/bullldykery as unnatural (usually symptomatic of incipient-to-developed moral/ character sickness, actually) but surely not worthy of a 'sanctified union'. No Muslim would do this- no real Jew-nor any Christian who's read Scripture at all. Even Bhuddists and Amerinds would walk away ashamed, let alone Aboriginals or 'Pagans'. It's a legal battle for faggotry. I'm married to a woman...I resent anyone attempting to cheapen a thing I hold in great reverance. Why force something that's universally condemned as a religious issue? Take your civil unions and go away, sez me. Leave marraige alone, no-one's god would have a union like that. Show me one religion that approves, in its doctrine, that gays should be wed, or has it in it's history. I'll show you a road paved to hell w/stupid intentions.

That might be a decent argument, if laws were based on religion. But they arent, and its not. This is not a religious/moral debate, so throw out all the talk of how much your gods would hate it. No one cares. This is a legal issue, and last I remember the seperation of church and state was still big in this country. So, go to church and gay bash all you want, but, remember that laws cant be created on a religious backround in this country.
