Akenaton, when same-sex marriage was legalized in California, some 18,000 same-sex couples got married within the first few months, until religious forces, including out of state religious groups such as the Mormon Church in the state of Utah, poured a huge amount of funds into the state and got Proposition 8 rescinded by a narrow margin of the voters. Here in Washington State, I don't have the figures yet because the law was just passed a few months ago, but there has been a huge number of same-sex marriages.

Your claim that people of same-sex orientation are not interested in marriage is belied by the facts. You want statistics? Now that same-sex marriage has been legalized in several states, there is a great mound of statistics building up that proves you wrong.

And "liberal ideology" has nothing to do with it. Common decency and fairness does.
