gay marriage actually brings up a ton of questions about straight marriage and vice versa.

1. Do you want God to bless the unity of man and man or do want the State to recognize it? (seperation of church and state issues)
2. Who benefits from gay or straight marriage (if gay couples say they are married - to me it means they have made a lifelong commitment to each other). The state recognizing it only adds legal issues and tax benefits, etc.
3. When we talk about marriage being for straight people and gays can't have it are we reyling on the bible/torah/koran for guidance, and if so, are you going to pick and choose which rules you follow according to your tastes, i.e. gay marriage bad - straight sex without marriage ok, drinking, drugs etc. ok?

just some of the questions that come to mind......
