Are you just defending the word "marriage" here ? If we pick another word called "xyz" and give exactly same priviledges like tax break, insurance coverage to "xyz" as "marriage", is that alright with you ? What specifically are the gays/lesbians destroying, that is not already broken in a marriage with 50% divorce rate ?

It's more than a word. Marriage for all of us "reds" is something provided by God for a man and a woman. Most couple's vows include God as a central theme. They are pledging themselves to each other before GOD.

Two gay guys can shack up, and I'm fine with giving them the same benefits (if you must), but they can never be married. It's not possible, and it would further erode the institution.

BTW, there is a big difference between "supporting partial-birth abortion" and "choice of partial-birth abortion".

Agreed, but you have to draw the line somewhere. If the baby is that far along, just have it and put it up for adoption. The practice is barbaric, and getting rid of it in no way effects a woman's "right" to choose, just the timing of her choice.
