The problem here, in my opinion, is that people are confusing legal marriage with their religious and/or moral views on marriage. The two are totally different and since this country was founded on the principles of freedom of religion and separartion of church and state, religious views and opinions on marriage should not even be considering when discussing a change in law.
Any couple, opposite or same sex, should receive the same rights and benefits of the law. A gay couple should be able to enjoy the same rights as a straight couple when it comes to healthcare, inheritances, or anything else along those lines. Legally, the two groups should be treated the same.
I will refrain from discussing my personal religious and moral beliefs because they truly are not applicable. This issue needs to be more focused on the legal, not religious, marriage of two people.
