Actually you have not given reasons for your views. I've been hoping you would because I've been searching for any rational objection to gay marriage for a long time.

Seems to me that truly devout Christians are offended by homosexuality, period.
Personally, I am not opposed to gay unions and have no bias against homosexuals. I simply prefer clarity of language. As far as I am concerned, same sex unions are not 'marriages' therefore they should not be called marriages. Marriage is reserved for one man and one woman, period. I see myself as a traditionalist on this issue.
I would imagine that most gays would be thrilled to accept 'civil unions' (or something similar) that offered the same legal protections/benefits as marriage. So what's the big hangup?
