If you're 'for' the 'traditional' definition of marriage, then, by default, you are 'against' the rights of homosexuals to get married. Period. Anything else is semantic exercise (see above).

Actually, I am fully aware of the semantics in this. This truely is a battle over a word, nothing more. It has been blown up into more by left-leaning hypocrites attempting to turn it to political favor.
There is no issue with a gay union having the same legal rights as a hetro marriage. Nor do I see any reason why a gay union needs to be called a marriage. No more than I see any reason why a common-law union should be called a Marriage.
