Not the only reason, (but one of the most significant) is that polygamy (to my knowledge) is illegal be default and gay marraige was NOT illegal until people passed laws to make it so. Regardless of this, why are you so up in arms about a TITLE. If people live their lives as though they were in a group marriage/Gay Marriage/etc... how is that different then a state recognized union? It isn't, you've said so yourself. We might as well be argueing that their should be ANY recognized unions at all, much less state recognized ones. Lets return to the days where religious union gain you nothing with the state. That'd level the playing field too. You aren't protecting anything, Jade. The Sanctity of Marriage is in its acceptance and faith in God by the people being married. It is not something that can be taken away or tainted by the actions of the faithless. Recognizing a RELATIONSHIP (for that is what we are discussing here, NOT SEX) does not make that RELATIONSHIP more valid. It makes us more tolerant people. It is one thing to not like a person's lifestyle and love them anyway and quite another to love them without qualification. Is it not mandated by your faith to love others and help them be happy in any way you can, bring them to God no less? I've got a secret for you, Jade. Lots of Gay people believe in God. Many of them believe they will go to hell for who they are but they love God anyway. I don't see you bringing someone who has accepted who they are as a Gay person to God. Love them? Sure, you can do that if you don't have to accept them. Right now the only way I can see you helping is by minding your own damn business. Let God judge those for the actions THEY have taken. Do not presume to act in Gods best interest. Now don't take this to mean that I am unfaithful or Pro Gay. I'm not. I believe in God and I believe God's business is God's business, NOT MINE. I also disagree with many Gay movements, not because I don't agree with the goal, I disagree with the methods. I strive to be tolerant of rights that ought to belong to everyone by their right of being HUMAN.
