Marriage is a religious term and more or less a phoney word anyway. The fight for the right to have your relationship LEGALLY recognized isn't always about the ability to get married in a church. It is about being able to have the right to be by your partner's side when they are in the hospital, it is the right to be their next of kin, it is about health insurance, etc.
The new rules that have been just set up in the UK also put into place a form of divorce for gay couples. This means that there are rights AND responsibilites. Which is always something people blab on about.
Imagine if straight people had to fight for the right to be with the person they love. Suddenly you would have a lot more couples that were together forever because otherwise it wouldn't be worth the fight.
Amazing how little time is spent legislating against hate and how much is spent legilating against love.

Very good points.
That's the hypocrisy of sex.
