They enjoy the same legal benefits, true, but they do not enjoy the same social acceptance and burden, the responsibility that is associated with marriage. And I don't think that society ever did expect such a thing from homosexual couples anyways.
It's a middle path, I believe, that is acceptable, yes?
Kılıç_mehmet,
The question I posed was to generally Christian opponents of the legal recongition of same sex marriages.
Anyway when I refer to the legal recognition of same sex marriages. Because such marriages are already occurring, they are just not recognised as such by law in most countries. In my country for example two people of the same sex marrying each other arent arrested or such an act is illegal. Such marriages arent recognised by the government as marriages as opposed to civil unions or domestic partnerships.
At the end of the day it is the Governmental legislation that counts ...not religion.
