This is probably getting a little off topic, But I have never really gotten all the hubbub over "gay marriage" either. It always seemed a little silly that it was so difficult to me. Marriage IS defined as a commitment between a man and a woman. Heterosexual love is defined as being between a man and a woman, just as a man having sexual feelings for another man is defined as homosexuality. That is how it has always been. Why would they want to be defined by something that is clearly not a correct definition. We don't call them "straight", so why should we call their committed relationships "marriages"?
So the question I have, is why don't both sides just accept that, and let the "gays" come up with a new word? I say it is completely irrelevant to the law. If they want to commit to each other, then they should have all the same rights that a normal marriage has, tax benefits, wills, property rights. Just call it something else so the ridiculous religious fanatics no longer have anything to complain about.
