OK, this is bugging me. I don't understand why the concept of gay marriage is so offensive to some people. Just because you don't agree with gay marriage doesn't mean other people shouldn't be afforded the opportunity to have a loving union with all the same rights given to straight couples. They are not *special rights*, because others already have them.
What is more important, the sanctity of marriage or the sanctity of human life? If it's human life that is more important(as I think it should be), then allow humans to live their lives in dignity, pursuing happiness, gay or straight or whatever.
Should the sanctity of marriage be put above the health and welfare of the spouses? Should a woman stay in a violent marriage just to honor marriage?
Humans must come before institutions.
