Gays dont care

Most gays dont seem to care about the "holy" part anyway. They want the rights and benefits of hetro married couples.

Survivor rights, hospital visitation, inheritance, property, adoption, on and on there are over 1000 rights granted to MARRIED (ie-hetrosexual) couples that homosexual couples cant have.

One of the couples in the Massachusettes case was a lesbian couple that had been together for something like 32 years. I think they're "in love" and dedicated.

I think we need to leave the church out of the marriage business.  If it were only about religion in a union of two people then a judge or a captain, etc. couldn't marry a couple (which of course they can).  I think the governent needs to recognize unions not "marriages".  I think the whole idea of gay marriages falls under my "it's about freakin' time" file.  This was a ridiculous prohibition in the first place.  Where in the constitution does it say anything about it being necessary that a union has to be between a man and a woman?  Article [I.] (See Note 13) 
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Just never understood where the argument lay in the first place.  I just skimmed through the constitution on line and could not find anywhere that this issue was addressed.  Live and let live for pete's sake!!  Why is it anyone's business who someone is dating unless of course you are married to that person...hehe!!  Maybe people need to spend more time concentrating on their own personal lives and not those of others with respect to their gender preference of parnters.  There is a gay couple that live in a big beautiful house down the street from me and they have been together for more than thirty years.  Both professionals with a great deal of money.  Any child would be very lucky to have them as parents.  Why shouldn't they be able to stand in front of the God they believe in and pledge their eternal love for each other!?  It just isn't anyone's business if they do.  They should also be provided the same spousal rights as hetero couples with regard to death benefits, health benefits, tax benefits, adoption,etc.  There is not one thing that makes them different from any hetero person with the exception of who they sleep with.
