My complaint against gay marriage isn't about the whole gay thing. It's against the notion that the definition of an institution as old as marriage can arbitrarily be changed whenever some group wants to.

Words mean things, and if the definition of marriage can be changed that easily, then the definition of words such as self defense, adult, citizen, free speech, privacy, and taxes can also be changed by any and every tin horn bureaucrat and buffoon out there.

This whole definition issue is why we have a written constitution for our republic. Otherwise we'd be like Orwell's Animal Farm where "all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others."

Nobody is stopping gay people from living together, and if gays want civil unions or some other sort of legal consideration then they can go through the same legislative processes as any other group that wishes to change the law.

Welcome to Free Republic. Look out for Liberty Valance... he shot at JFK from the Grassy Knoll in Dallas. He got a Cub Scout merit badge for it. He's even showed it to me several times.
