Ok, I have to disagree here. I don't believe marriage is a religious institution. So many different cultures and religions use the term marriage to define a union between two people.
Marriage is based on economics and was intended to maintain a stable society. If there was no such thing as marriage people would be running around with anyone with two feet and a heartbeat, children would be uncared for because no one would take responisbility for their offspring. Marriage is an economical union because two people joing their assest together make for more. Why do you think so many culture used and still use doweries?
It's just easier to enter into this kinds of union with someone you love.
Maybe I'm just being cynical. But if marriage was a religious institution people who were not religious would not get married.
I believe in God, but not in organized religion. If supporting the right for homosexuals to enter into a union will condemn me to hell so be it. Far be it for to tell anyone they cannot be together.
Hell, I think we should all be gay. The world would be a lot nicer and more colour coordinated
