If they want to pretend their relationship is a normal relationship, let them pretend. If they want to pretend to be married, go to a pretend church and pretend to be married. Just leave the majority of people, who believe there is a deeper spiritual relevance to marriage and life, out of this folly.
Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, almost every religious group takes exception to same-sex relationships. The point of marriage and very act of sex is to reproduce the species. The commitment to marriage also includes a commitment to raising children resulting from that relationship. The commitment to family and bringing up children under established norms is very important to most parents, unfortunately it's very existence is presently under attack by a certain small segment of society.
What kind of of society are we creating? Nobody seems to bother to think what will happen to a society when all its norms and values are destroyed and replaced to "please" the "rights" of every small minority in that society. Why are we throwing out the baby with the bath water just to please a minority of the gay community who want to be married?
Tell me. What's the point of life?

I cannot believe people as ignorant as you even exist.
"Pretend their relationship is NORMAL"?!?
Please define what the word "relationship" means to you. To me it means any connection/interaction between two people.
Now, please define what you mean by "normal". Damn! I can't believe that you consider yourself "normal" and obviously anyone that is different to be something other than normal.
And all this business about going to a pretend church?!? I'm assuming you are one of the many people who are confused about what a marriage is. Marriage has NOTHING to do with any church. You are right, churches and religions perform marriage ceremonies and according to some religions, you are not truly married unless you partake in one of these ceremonies. However, in our CIVIL society, a marriage is defined by CIVIL LAW.
