I would put you on my ignore list so I don't have to read your bile were it not for the fact that it breaches the rules of this forum.

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?
I don't really understand what you're talking about. I'm arguing against the re-definition of marriage. The so-called "damage" to traditional marriage is the re-definition itself. I don't agree that same-sex relationships should ever be equated with opposite-sex relationships, if you read through my posts, you will see my justification.
