Gay Marriage - are you for or against it and why?

[Dotard]

I've oft wondered why the importance of the label "Married" or "Marriage".

What would make that definition so unacceptable as to read; "...the legal or religious ceremony that formalizes the decision of two people to live as a UNITED couple, including the accompanying social festivities: to officiate at a marriage.

Just a simplistic label like HE for a dude and SHE for a woman. For a dude Married if with a female. United if with another homo. And as I am typing this I am realizing that would just be silly. Why would there be a need for separate noun for homosexuals? Just so people like me have instant confirmation if we suspect a dude is a homo? Silly and not nessesary. Marriage is just what we call two people who make a public announcement of their union as a couple. Seems it would apply to hetros as well as homos no matter how I try to twist and pull at the definition of marriage.

Fussing and fighting about a simple definition of two people entering into a civil union, no matter how I try to make it not so, defined as marriage, is really nonsense.

Marry my dog.... what the hell was that? I really took leave of my senses (I know, I know, not a stretch of the imagination for me to do so) on that one. I wish I could say "Oh I was stoned!" but I'm stoned all the time (hell, I'm stoned right now) so that's no excuse. It was a dummy thing to post and I was the dummy for posting it.

Homosexuality is still an abnormality though.
