Pretty much this. Marriage has evolved to engrain itself into society in such a way that some view it as a necessary step in life. Oftentimes procreation isn't even considered.
Marriage is a societal thing now (again?), not just a religious one. The term evolved, and idiotic cavemen need to get over it.
I don't think "straight" people understand this! This isn't just about "Civil Unions" alone and the "legal" protections it will afford.
This is about self validation and being equal with the rest of Society. Gays and straights have been to Weddings, Funerals, Bar Mitzahs, "Sweet Sixteens, birthdays, and every other type of celebrations!
So a Wedding is more than just a "piece of paper"! It's a "Custom" and a "Celebration" that has been part of our lives.
Let Gay people get married & want to be in a serious relationship and I can promise you the best Wedding reception and food ever!

I understand this just fine - in fact it is my central thesis. Gay marriage is not about civil rights - it is about providing legitmacy for a deviant lifestyle. Thanks for agreeing with me.
Civil marriage most certainly is not sacred. None of our civil laws or our civil institutions are sacred. Sanctity is for religion, not law or civil society.
A man got married - he wrote a book - titled Paradise Lost.
Then his wife died - he wrote another book - titled Paradise Regained.
