I'm a pretty straight up (in the metaphorical sense) guy. As someone who opposed gay people in general (it was just the way I was raised) until I found out I was one (unfortunately), I can honestly say I don't give one f*ck about marriage as a label. If the consensus is that marriage was an institution for heterosexual couples then fine. The problem comes about when civil unions do not have parity in terms of rights with "married' couples. That is why I give a damn. I do think that a good few of gay men and women have become caught up in the label though, even if the rights are still their major aim....
