[QUOTE=Nicotunes,May 16 2008, 12:03 PM]I am for it, mainly from the viewpoint of things like insurance coverage, life ins benefits, etc.
It is discrimination to deny a partner these things solely based on sexual orientation.
Same sex marriage would legitimize the union and prevent this discrimination.

Civil unions and other binding legal agreements can provide for those areas between hetero and gay couples now. A lot of previously married people have chosen this avenue rather than getting remarried. Just wait until the gays find out about the "marriage penalty" when they file taxes. 
I find it interesting that over half of the marriages in the U.S. end in divorce, yet the gay population is so intent on having this "privilege." Why...so they can get divorced like the rest of us??
From what I've observed among my gay friends and co-workers, they don't seem to be any more successful at maintaining a relationship than hetero's. However, most of them will not have kids to drive them crazy, so maybe it will work for them. 
IMO, the quickest way to silence the gays about same sex marriage is to let them have it. The "new" will wear off rather quickly when they realize there is really very little benefit for them. Soon they'll wonder why they made such a fuss over it.

Though most big companies provide benefits for domestic partnerships, I know mine does, and we are one of the largest govt contractors in the country.

If I remember correctly God is supposed to be all loving....never was it said that God loves all except for gays, blacks, white, mentally challenged, etc etc.
God loves all people but not everything they do.
Based in your illogic, God would love murder too..
It is written: Leviticus 18:22
Don't be confused with God hating sin vs God loving sinners.
