Here's my challenge to you then. What is it about gay sex that makes a gay relationship any more significant than some other non-sexual relationship? For example, suppose that I and my brother live together and have a very close non-sexual relationship. Why is our relationship any less significant than the gay couple's down the street? Why is it any less significant than the straight couple's next door?

FWIW, I don't really care that much about gay marriage either. It won't bring about the end of the world, God's wrath or the downfall of civilization. I just think that state recognition of gay marriage is just a hare brained idea because these relationships are of no value to society at large.

No value to you or me but value to them obviously. I’m not pushing gay marriage at all but I don’t see it as a threat to other relationships or to society either. I see lots of valueless domestic situations even within some families over the years. For me I’m happy with my family, my kids, my grandkids and my way of life and wouldn’t trade it for anything but I just don’t see the threat from those who live different lives as long as they are not harming anyone.
