Oh my....come on...take a look at what straight people have done to the "scanctity" of marriage...our divorce rate is 50-60%. Infidility is present in 75-80% of all marriages. Many kids aren't being taught the meaning of respect and are being turned into whining, self-centered, "the world ows me" adults because their (straight) parents are too busy.
Boy, those gays are sure messing things up.
I am not saying that by allowing gays to marry, anything would change. But the point is that recognizing a same sex couple can't hurt anything. If it is against your religion and it offends you that's fine. You have a right to say what you want to say and believe what you want to believe. But don't be a hypocite because just as you have a right to marry who you want and believe what you want, so does everyone else.
Also, I think that in the Netherlands (correct me if I am wrong), the divorce rate is much lower than it is here. This leads me to believe that the state of marriage in this country has nothing to do with what your sexual preference is but who you are as an individual.
