The "legitimate" controversy, as you like to call it, is a religious controversy, and has no place in the laws of a secular government. If we were governed by "Chris-ria"- the Christian equivalent of Sharia- then I guess the legal expression of repugnance for homoseuxal lifestyles would be in line with the governing "law" of our society. But as I said before, religious bigotry, no matter how traditional it might be, really has no place in America- at least not until we really DO have Chris-ria. What is wrong is excluding people legally. As I said before, you have every right to exclude them personally, and put them, and their "relationships," on whatever "footing" you like- but you are arguing that the state must be involved, so that the "footing" of these homosexual unions may be made clear to all (you could just make them were a scarlet "H"). Some people might have said (and did say) that it was wrong to force whites to ride on buses with blacks, and that it was better not to force the issue, and why did those blacks have to ride in the front of the bus anyway?
