This will go beyond a slippery slope...children being brought up by 2 people of the same sex, then possibly by more than 2 people, the church will want nothing to do with it, neither will any religious organisation for that matter and it'll lead to a lot of angry people. You having brown eyes (i undertand your point on being different) is not comprable to gay marriage.
The service doesn't mtter, you'd still be signing to a certificate of marriage, unless you choose not to, which would be the difference.

There is no such thing as the "sanctity" of a civil contract.
Religious marriage is an entirely different institution and allowing homosexuals to marry will not effect religious marriages in any way.
