meh, i really don't feel like reading the whole thread... but i'm going to tap into the morality of all this... in my opinion, homosexuals should not be given access to the institution of marriage. marriage is not simply a "right" or even a declaration of love. it has been defined as the social, economic, legal, and spiritual union of a man and a woman for thousands of years in virtually every culture of the world. if homosexuals were given access to this institution simply because they "love" each other, would there be a need to restrict marriage between cousins or even set a minimum age for marriage? by not allowing gay marriage, we aren't depriving them of their "rights;" we're simply upholding the definition of the sacred institution that has been in existence for years and years. we cannot allow a radical movement to simply impose this whole new definition of marriage on our society. previous radical movements, such as anti-slavery and women's suffrage, have succeeded because they are in accord with natural morality and law; however, gay marriage is not in accord with this natural law. i'm not anti-homosexual; i'm actually very tolerant of them; i don't mind homosexual relationships at all. i just don't believe that our society should change the original definition of "marriage."
