What then is next - Why not allow someone to marry their daughter or sister or dog?
That was kinda my point. Where is the equilibrium between the two gonna be? People screaming nothing but gay rights, what about the rights of the religious folks?
BTW As an aside, I'm not a big religious guy myself, my wife is a regular church goer, brought up in the church and everything, and we both lean towards marriage is between a man and a woman. We fully think a civil union between consenting people is a perfectly acceptable compromise. Doesn't a civil union grant every right and privilege that marriage does? Marriage is a sacred bond that is granted and recognized by the church(plus, it's a "plumbing" issue, some things were meant to fit together and some weren't, plain and simple, nature's law so to speak.) And no forkie, I don't need to see a pic of some queer rhinos', baboons' or whatever, I recognize the deviations.
