I don't think that anyone would disagree with you about heterosexual marriage. It needs no defense.

But who cares if homosexuals wish to marry? Marriage is a contract that is defined legally. Ownership and heirs are set by law. Spousal benefits are often defined in terms of marriage.

So what difference is it to you or anyone else that two people of the same sex wish to enter into that kind of contract.

I believe that same sex partnerships can already do the equivalent with a contract drawn by their attorney. Save perhaps for any public or private spousal benefits that might be due from a government or private employer.

The number of people wishing to enter same sex marriage must be a small number anyway. There aren't that many gay people, and those that are gay are that way because god made them that way. Who in their right mind would chose a lifestyle of persecution if it were not a truly basic desire to be with one of the same sex?

Most gay people have no desire for a person of the opposite sex. It's who they are. The way that god made them. We all have many attributes, among them is sexual desire. Just as all people are not white or black or blond or brunette, not all people will be of the same sexual orientation. Sometimes when the genetic dice are rolled you come up with a male, a female and on occasion a hermaphordite. And then all things in between are possible.

What child wants to be born with spinabifida, or a cleft palate, or mongoloid, or downs, or to be different in their sexual orientation? Not one. It's clearly out of their control.

Would you ridicule someone born out of the norm, simply because they aren't just like you? Apparently so.
