In, the UK, we have rational debates, in the US, the rednecks thump the Bible. You can't win a public policy debate by thumping the Bible.
You think very highly of yourself if you think that your 'excellent reasons' form a rational debate. Thumping Bibles is certainly a terrible way to justify a position, but it's not the only terrible way to do it.
By the way, just for fun, Massachusetts was the first state to legalize gay marriage in the U.S., in 2004. Divorce rates in that state have been trending downwards ever since and, today, the state has the lowest divorce rate in the country by a significant amount (it is, in fact, just more than half of what it was in 2004).
So, where's the damage to 'traditional marriage' in Massachusetts?
