You've got some verifiable proof of this god-thing you're talking about, right?
I mean, your god thing and religion are constructs of man, are they not?
You have less proof of a sky-daddy than you do of government.
Who would your god-thingy hate?
I posted to give perspective from a religious POV. I didn't attack homosexuality itself. You can't see air but you have to breath. People believe in UFO's yet they've never landed on the White House lawn. Why are you so obsessed with hatred?
I've not said you have to believe in anything. You want me to prove God exists, yet you can't prove he doesn't.

Obsessed with hatred, nah, that's the job of super c's.
You have not one whit of proof that some sky daddy exists; yet you (collective) spew nothing but hatred in its name.
You have to prove an affirmative stance.
I can't prove there's no santa or pink elephants or tinkerbelle's or other hallucinations either.
You know, if you make a positive statement that something exists, it's incumbent on you to prove it.
Nothing would happen to heterosexual marriages, as nothing has happened to heterosexual marriages in the states that currently have it, other than perhaps lower divorce rates....

In philosophy, there is something known as the principle of belief conservation. Example: I cannot 100% disprove that our planet was not the end result of a giant turtle defecating a few thousand years ago. But since the evidence needed to substantiate that position far outweighs what is needed to substantiate my metaphysical naturalist position - I logically "conserve" my beliefs in the Big Bang, evolution, etc. Empirical evidence always trumps "faith." in the event of conflicting empirical evidence - that's what the entire scientific method is about. I may not be able to see air with my eyes, but anybody with a Bachelors degree in any of the natural sciences could devise a simple experiment to determine its existence and chemical composition. This is absolutely not the same with those who have "faith" in an omnipotent "god-figure" - and insist that the rest of us accept Mr. God's evidence on faith alone, evidence to the contrary be damned.
In any event, religion should never factor into a debate about civic policies...unless one is referring to civic policies in Iran or Saudi Arabia.

How exactly would gay marriage affect heterosexual marriage?
It seems many young heterosexuals forgo marriage. I'd be more concerned about children born out of wedlock to women who can't afford to care for them, than I would be about gay marriage.
Gay marriage wouldn't effect my marriage. I exchanged vows with my husband and no one else.

as long as they have to pay the same taxes i do,it's not going to,and well this will be a nutbuster for tv ratings,think about it,two gay fellas argueeing their differences on divorce court,this will be like watching the hangerover in drag,you can't buy that kind of entertainment
As I said, call it whatever you'd like (life partner, union..etc) and let it enjoy the same benefits as marriage, but the tradition of marriage in the eyes of God is strictly between a man and a woman. Governments are a creation of man, marriage is not.
You obviously know nothing about the Biblical meaning of marriage. It was usually between an older man and a 9 or 10 year old girl (aka, pedophilia). That or polygamy.
"Traditional Marriage" as you call it - is a modern invention.
