Should gays have the right to marry?

So much for journalistic standards, the very title is biased. Gays have the right to marry just like anyone else. But if they are men they must marry a woman and vice versa. Gays and Straights have the exact same rights. The real title should be "Should marriage be changed from a union of man and woman, to any union of two individuals" This much more accurately reflects the issue and should make us ponder, with marriage already in trouble, do we really want to trivialize it anymore by twisting it beyond recognition.

I see some variation of this statement on almost all threads on this subject. I'm bewildered that anyone could think this is a legitimate and convincing argument. It's truly one of the most absurd lines of reasoning I've ever seen.

I guess some people are so completely enveloped in fundamentalist groupthink that they can't recognize how risible this argument is to anyone but other fundamentalists.
