This isn't about "gay" folks getting hitched.
It's about money.
That's the real "sacred" to the repugnican party.
Marriage would allow the partners to have the same benefits that "sraight" folks are accorded and cost businesses alot of dough.
Not to mention benefits accorded to widowed folk by the Gov't. Social Security comes to mind right off the bat.

My opinion is that love should be encouraged and nurtured regardless of the sexual preference of the party.
