What the hell is that supposed to mean? Tell me one single difference between marriage with different-sex partners and marriage with same-sex partners other than their biological differences. It is two people who love each other and who wants to be able to officially show it to others.

I posted this on my wall earlier, but I guess it fits ferfectly here as well:

Sex differences are no different than skin-colour differences; They are entirely biological. Just because you are born gay you shouldn't be excluded from the happiness that marriage may bring.

Except there are substantial differences between same sex relationships and heterosexual relationships ...

With the debate over gay marriage in Canada there were lots of statistics that demonstrated that there are substantial differences between same sex relationships and heterosexual relationships. For example, lesbians are far more likely to be involved in domestic abuse (which seems counter-intuitive) and their relationships are far less stable and more likely to break up; gay male relationships also tend not to be monogamous, and long lasting gay male relationships tend to more closely resemble open marriages or swingers.

You still haven't defined what a marriage is or how a homosexual relationship can meet that definition. All you have done is resorted to ad-hominem attacks, which demonstrates that you don't have an intelligent logical argument.

What is your point?

A black person is more likely to commit crimes during his entire lifetime, so should we not give them the same rights as white people because of that?

I define marriage as something that makes people happy to some extend, and you want to exclude a huge amount of people from that happiness.
