I've been thinking for a long time why gay, etc., people would actually want to be married in a traditional catholic/christian way, considering most of the people I have met don't believe in that kind of God and hate the church with a passion. Let them have their male-female marriages, and whatever pretty little rules they want.

However, I am a big believer in allowing same sex unions that have all the same privileges and disadvantages as traditional ones. To some extent you can do some of the things (leaving everything to them in a will, listing them as next of kin, etc.) but it is no where near enough. So long as it is as "fair" and "equal" as traditional legal unions, I am happy.
