i disagree with you completely. how does two people getting married somewhere else in the world affect the state of everyone elses marriage.
i don't think you can limit the rights of people based on their sexuality. so you think being gay is unnatural or something? so what. then don't attend gay marriages. it doesn't affect your life at all.
i worked with a man you was gay and his partner that he lived with for several years passed away. but instead of the him getting the his partner's money and possessions, this man's estranged family, whom he hadn;t spoken to in twenty years, benefitted from the situation.
the only thing gay marriage will do is give gay people financial and legal rights with their partner. it won't affect you, marriage, society or the poor little children who are probably more accepting of mommies 1 and 2 than you will ever be.

I can live with your thinking a lot easier than some of the over-reactions that have popped up here.
I tend to think of marriage as the religious ceremony which is important to me. Any other partnership whether between gay or straight couples would be considered a 'civil partnership'. Plenty of straight couples don't want to have their partnership recognised in a place of worship and that's fine, in fact it would be hypocritical for that type of marriage to take place. I would extend that thinking to all gay partnerships - so do you think you can define a 'marriage' as having a religious aspect, and 'partnership' as the same in terms of legality, but not 'in the sight of God' - or is that too simplistic??

I think their are straight people out there that need to be in jail the way they treat their children, and straight people that should have never married. Gay people can be some of the most funnest and loving people to encounter. They make wonderful parents and partners.

no-one (in their right minds) is arguing that some married people have mistreated their kids, neither are they arguing that gay people aren't fun and loving.
Don't mean they can be married in the fullest sense of the word, and if you can't do something to its fullest extent, why would you want to pretend?
I sympathise with the predicament, I just think you are confusing your 'rights' with plain old common sense
