Marriage is over rated... If I want to live with someone the rest of my life and love them, I don't need approval from anyone or any government. I'm straight and I side with both views. Marriage really is just some paperwork that has some legal/tax/insurance/monetary benefits. I think gay couples should be given the same rights as straight married couples but I don't think it makes it ok to change what our constitution defines "marriage" as. Love whatever color, sex, religion you want. This is like the abortion issue, I can understand both sides.:hippy:
