Gay marriage isn't a civil right. Legal recognition of economic co-dependance is. Marriage is a religious institution, and I cannot for the life of me understand why homosexuals want a label that has identified so closely with religions that dont support them for thousands of years.

If your argument is that the state should not be declaring people "married", then you would support taking that legal recognition AWAY from straight couples instead of giving it to gays? The whole point of the civil rights angle is equal rights, so I guess that would work. Good luck with that though.

I talked about this in the other post.

Homosexual couples wanting "gay marriage" to be legalized are more interested is being treated the same than getting equal rights.  Those are two seperate things.  Do you think they will be happly with a different union being formed just for them which gives them the same rights? Probably not.

Until the definition of marriage is changed, there is no "gay marriage" to ban.  It is an oxymoron.  Lets ban boiling ice while we are at it.
