If the two men or two women believe its a marriage, why is it not a marriage? And what does it matter to you? You and your wife's marriage is not hurt by their belief. So what's the big deal?

Why is it necessary for the government to recognize that kind of "marriage"? The whole point of marriage as an institution is to provide a stable place to raise children. Why are gay people not satisfied to have whatever ceremony they want, give each other power of attorney, put them in the will, and you're done.

IMO they (not all gay people are activist on this) are pushing it as an issue, not because of what they are claiming they don't have, but just to break down yet another barrier to gay "acceptance". A trojan horse if you will.
