Good for the people of the same sex who are wanting to getting married.... but... more and more "conventional" couples are skipping the marriage step... don't you think they know something the other people don't? The novelty will wear off and they'll realize it never really was a big deal. Same with the opposing side... it wasn't really a big deal.

Marriage does bring about several lega lrights, which really is a big deal. Especially considering how vulnerable same-sex couples are to prejudice (for example hospitals often refuse gay people the right to visit their significant others because they're not "family", which is something quite laughable).

Which is why I said it shouldn't have been a big deal for the opposition either. It should have always been an option and should really have been determined through a church if they wanted to marry the couple or not.
