No matter what, over half of the marriages in the U.S. (mind you, this isn't the world) end in divorce. You hear that all over the news, in the newspaper, research...everywhere. (And the hell with you conspiracy theorists that say that is just the media talking, and not the truth). So why not let someone else give it a whirl? What would be so wrong about gays marrying? Do people honestly think it would cause eternal world damnation? Do people think it is going to make other countries hate us even more (than they do already for occupying a country we had no right to)? And I think this argument is about much more than rights, considering taxes, health insurance, etc., etc. I think that is offensive. Maybe it's most fundamental...like to people loving each other and making into a legally recognized union called marriage.
