@keesurt It is not an exclusive christian tradition. Are non- christian opposite sex couples who want to marry forbidden to do so because they are not christian? Of course not. Furthermore, examples of traditional "marriage" in the bible leave a lot to be desired to say the least: multiple wives, concubines, incest etc etc etc.
If two gay people want to be together in the name of love, no one is stopping them. Dont ask for special rights if you prefer the same sex. Its not a rights issue.
If homosexuals want the right to marry, they should affirm a mormons right to want to marry multiple women and deviants right to marry animals, minors etc. The "gay rights" argument is so absolutely asinine.
@yarrido This is the same rationale Virginia attempted to use in defense of it's anti-miscegenation law-no one was being denied their right to marry-they just had to marry someone of the same color. Unbelievably ridiculous then and now.

" Gays want respect and affirmation just like straights" What a concept!

Wow! This was pretty insightful. I didn't realized that was the core issue. Good job for breaking this down, for me!
