No one has the right to force anyone to accept what is plainly against human nature. If two women decide to love each other, or two men decide to love each other, and they do this of their own free will is that not human nature? I'm a heterosexual myself. And I don't particularly agree with some sexual behavior and would not want to participate in it. But why do you think you have the right to regulate someone else's behavior? There is no victim here as in murder, rape or incest. So long as it's sex between two consenting adults, shouldn't we just butt out? And if two people love each other and wish to commit to each other that should be allowed too. Let marriage remain between a man and a woman, for the purpose of raising and protecting a family. Let gays join in civil union to protect their rights too. It need not be equal to marriage in every sense, nor could it be, because their union cannot produce children. They could however adopt a family, and so it should be structured to protect any adopted children. I don't see how allowing such legal arrangements can harm the institution of marriage between a man and a woman. That would be blaming someone else for your own troubles, when they clearly have no effect on your attitude...or do they? Orca

What about anal sex between man and women? You are the one that wants to force things. States don't sanctify a marriage any more than they sanctify fishing licenses. Religions do that at least wrt marriage. If you are committed to your beliefs about marriage that is great. Government should be fair however and that means not getting into the religious aspect of what a true marriage is or is not. Fact is civil unions are about what goverment licenses.
