The definition of marriage is not threatened by the recognition of same sex couples, granting them "equal protection under the law." If a certain denomination recognizes these relationships, they can call it "marriage." A civil magistrate could marry them ("civil union"). Other groups could call it an "abomination" and cry out for hail and brimstone. If there is a "god" would he punish 90% of people who are not gay for the 10% who are? If so, I'll keep looking for a "god" who is at least more fair than I am.

Of course sometimes the innocent suffer with the guilty. What brought AIDS into being? Not the straight people. But, alone the line, the innocent have also suffered. I just hope God doesn't punish all of us for you questioning whether he exists. All you have to do is pay attention to realize that in everything that happens, sometimes the innocent suffer because of things brought on by others. God once destroyed a complete city because of it. Do you think he approves? Get real, man. Homosexuality is wrong, no way around it. And I don't want my tax dollars supporting such a perverted lifestyle.
