"If two men or two women are commited to each other, why shouldn't they enjoy the spiritual and legal advantages of marriage? This is another example of one religious group 'imposing' their ideals on others"

Can you see that this cuts both ways? I look at it more like the gay community is pushing their views (that a marriage between two men or women is normal) on the rest of us. I am not from the religious right, but it offends me that two gay lovers would have the same standing in society that a married hetro couple has. I believe that these benefits are more the result in assisting people in raising families, which is not a natural function (forget religion) for two men or two women.

Here's a question. What if two men really liked each other and were roommates for 10 years, but had not sexual desires for each other? Should they get married for the benefits? If so, why should a company be responsible for providing this?
