A great deal of people don't even really care about the whole issue except for it treading on their traditions and religious beliefs which they hold dearly. If you don't leave them the option to accept homosexual couples on their own terms, then they'll be all the more spiteful and reluctant to do so in the long run.

I don't know about that argument though. You could have accepted slavery based on that argument. Wait until people accept that black people deserve the same rights as white people. If you push white people into accepting black people as someone more than slaves, they will feel bitter in the end.


I would be ok with another term than marriage. I don't care what it's called, as long as it has the same legal status. But then again, it isn't meant for me, maybe a lot of gay people have a different opinion.
I don't care at all about marriage myself. The notion that someone (a priest or whoever) has to approve the fact that me and my gf are together makes me laugh.
