Marriage is a cultural activity. You can say it has it's roots in religion, that it has to be sacred, yadda yadda ya. Whatever dude. If that's your beef then start petitioning against atheist couples who want to marriage, too.
Folks who be all about "yeah I want gay couples to have the same rights as a married couple but not actually get married because marriage is sacred, or god forbids it, or whatever" they don't realize that by saying this they are basically saying - yeah it's cool you're gay but you don't belong to our culture. You're an outcast, a weirdo, and icky. Go be gay and create your own traditions without us.
The want for marriage of gay couples in part, comes down to wanting to belong to society, I guess.
Personally, I give a two fucks about marriage. It's hella expensive and I don't need that headache - planning, picking out the right outfits, inviting hundreds of people, etc. etc. If I ever get married, it's going to be eloping. And it's also going to be to a fine ass Korean chick and when we have kids I'm going to name my kid young-goon (
I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).
But all in all, Emma is right. If two dudes get married it doesn't take away from your marriage. You want your marriage to be sacred - it is so long as you make it that way. So just like that number of 50 percent of marriages failing. That 50 percent who didn't hold their marriage sacred, never took away from the 50 percent who do.
That's my hipster point of view anyways.
