Everyone has their own moral compass,and just from myself, in this country JUST 10 YEARS AGO, it was illegal for two men to have sex and now we want to allow marriage. I believe that marriage is between one man and one woman, and that fact alone allows for a lot of intimate and cultural gain. The message this would send to satisfy a few who have rights, but together, in my opinion, do not make a MARRIAGE.
"Gays and Lesbians have a right to live as they choose,
they don’t have the right to redefine marriage for all of us."
Marriage is about bringing together men and women so children can have mothers and fathers.
A national referendum on this would put it to rest in my opinion.

Instead of calling it "Marriage", would you object to "Civil Union"? Personally, I am for civil unions which would give gay/lesbian couples
every right that a married couple has under federal and state laws.
As for calling it marriage, a civil union means the same thing in my book if it is not performed in a church. There is nothing to say anywhere that a marriage has to be performed in a church.
How is a civil union performed by a Justice of the Peace or a judge in city hall any different than a marriage between a man and a woman that is performed by a JP or a judge in city hall?
