No doubt, there are religions and ethnic groups that do not frown upon gay marriages. Why should we impose the religious belief system of the majority onto the minority?
The legal rights of gays should reflect the human and civil rights of all citizens. As human beings and citizens of this great country, their right to marry whomever they choose should be held sacrosanct.

While you're busy talking about what America is an isn't in your mind, and what it should and shouldn't be doing, what it has done and is doing is clear and distinct.
