It was religion, reguardless of faith as all have their traditions but it was religion that made it a big event where as before it was just seen as two people getting together and if they have a family they have a family and if they didn't they didn't.
This right there on those facts alone is the reason why I believe that gays should not merry BUT should be allowed to have a civil-unian with the same legal rights and benofits of a traditional merriage. This right there will salve many problems, not all but most, even if you allowed gays to merry there will always be this same issue there.
But thats just my tid bit on the matter, its not going to be a huge socity changing event as people on both sides will be just as ticked off as before.
Also, one of my cousens happens to be a lesbian and we get along just fine.
