What impact has it had on straight couples? Nobody has quite explained that yet.
I assume you are married Snakeeye, so do tell the impact some gay people getting married has had on your marriage.

No, I am not married. And I am not religious, but I do know some very religious people, and I do know that they find changing the definition of marriage cheapens the instutution for then, and is an affront to their beliefs, and their interpretation of God.
For people who hold the opinion that marriage is between a man and a women because of their religious beliefs, the government is telling them that their religion, their beliefs and their
faith is wrong.
You don't think that causes an impact?
Like I said, who we are is a composite of our beliefs.
You've never explained to me what impact calling a gay union a civil-union rather than a marriage has on gay couples. Given equivalent legal rights, why is it necessary that gay unions be called "marriages"?
