If I wanted to marry a woman I would have done so already. I'm gay. I'm not attracted to women sexually. Surely you understand that. So why should I NOT be allowed to enjoy the rights of marriage with my partner? Since I am as capable of loving a woman as you are of loving a man, surely you can see how irrational it is to deny anyone the right to enter the LEGAL CONTRACT of marriage with the person they love. This should be our right as much as it is for you.
The government institution should only be responsible for granting the license of marriage (or the civil union, if you will). Churches would not be told who they can and cannot marry (so NOTHING would change there). The Southern Baptists will never have a gay marriage ceremony but the Unitarian Universalists or some Episcopal parishes might.
This would be as it should be, IMO...
This is what the California Supreme Court has now recognized.
