And I also agree that the quality of marriage (including the divorce rate) hasn't been affected by homosexual relationships or gay marriage.<br /><br />That being said (you saw that coming didn't you?), I still stand by the concept that it is a bad idea and (more to the point of the above) unnecessary to redefine an insitution older than our or any Constitution in order to accomodate those seeking "equal rights."

Do I believe a real marriage can only be between a man and a woman? Yes. I am happy that my church (Roman Catholic) has yet to crumble to the pressure of special interests, such as a segment of Espiscapalians. <br /><br />However, I believe it is a waste of time for our politicians to even bother debating this. Current problems more important than gay marriage: War on Terror, Iraq, illegal immigration, declining public education, heathcare, tax system, energy dependence, partial-birth abortions being performed.<br /><br />Is that enough? Let's fix these problems first.<br /><br />And all this, "Gay marriage takes away the sanctity of marriage" is just crap. The divorce rate in the U.S. is 50%!! This is not the fault of homos. This is the fault of men and women who don't respect the sacrament of marriage and/or each other.<br /><br />Again, maybe I'm just a bit off the wall here, but I don't think gay marriage is a threat to our country. Private religious organizations still have the right to determine who marries in their churches, and that's good for me. I tend to separate from many conservatives on this issue.
