Copy this sentence into your livejournal if you're in a heterosexual marriage and you don't want it "protected" by the bigots who think that gay marriage hurts it somehow.
There's 2 aspects of marriage, the legal and religious.
If your religion doesn't sanction/condone/accept it, you can either accept it and go on or find another more in line with your personal beliefs (like say, the UU's).
The legal aspect is an entirely different matter. That's the protection for spouses in matters of child care, taxes, property transference, health insurance, and medical decisions. There is absolutely no reason why a committed couple can't share the same benefits.
There are too many people in the Religious Wrong I mean Right who want to force a religion down people's throats where they are completely overstepping their authority. (It's one broad plank in the Republican platform that I find distasteful)
the irony is I am dismissed as a fringe element in the party (or a RINO- Republican in name only) but in truth I am more of the core or what used to be the core.
