Before anyone reads this understand, that while i do oppose gay marriage, i do not believe the rights of gays should be any different than those of any other memember of the human race.
my belief is simple, the classic marriage is a Christian ceremony, and many Christians interput the bible as labeling homosexuality as a sin, so to condone the joining of a homosexual couple in Christian marriage is legally requiring some one to do something that may be strictly against their interpitation of their religon, and i don't believe the government should have that right, (freedom of Religon) why not allow them to be married with all the same legal benifits as any other couple, but without it being necessarily a Christian marriage, there are many culture joinings of life mates besides the standard christian idea of marriage, and like ellen said, the love is the same, and that stands whether they were married as Christians or in anyother fashion...
and if anything i have said is either factually wrong, or has offended anyone please respectfully critize and correct, please do not flame
