You dont understand the issue in this case. Once again the courts have played fast and loose with the constitution in order to destroy the moral fabric of America.
I afraid you're the one not understanding. I'm not in favor of the courts legislating from the bench, and I'm not in favor of legalizaing same-sex marriage. I'm in favor of eliminating marraige as a governmental institution, and leaving it solely as a religious one.
Once the courts strike down the definition of marriage - one I might add, that has stood for thousands of years - in order to accommodate a lifestyle choice - then it has no option but to open up marriage to all other lifestyle choices, no matter how abborant (ie: man-boy, father-daughter, man-dog, etc.)
This is why the definition should be left to religious institutions, which have varying rules regarding marriage. Also, the examples you site are absurd; we're talking about an agreement between two consenting adults, not a child or animal.
