There are many people who are strongly opposed to no-fault divorce and quick annulments, and they've been fighting these things for years. I believe that they're pushing to end no-fault divorce in Texas. "Homosexual marriage" would have a negative impact on society just as no-fault divorce has. The relative outrage of their opponents matters little.
I can say my marriage wasn't affected, and that's all I care about.
What do you mean by your marriage? What's marriage? You're taking a "head in the sand" approach. Marriage is a public institution and it always has been. The public perception of your marriage will change and it simply won't be as important or significant. The commitment that you made will have been diluted in the eyes of society. Certainly, "homosexual marriage" will have an impact on your own marriage, it's just one you will ignore, and hope your children will. When your marriage becomes a "civil union" overnight, then can you say it wasn't effected?
I don't care what other people think, as it changes our bond not one bit. I actually prefer the "civil union" route. The government has no business in marriage except as it applies to taxes and inheritance, which could be covered by civil union. To me it implies they have some say in or sanction of our union. Let marriages be a private, non-governmental affair performed by churches or other institutions -- institutions that can exclude whomever they want.
