""Should people within that template chose not to reproduce, or sadly, be unable to reproduce for medical reasons, that is fine, but the template remains, and any attempt to alter it weakens the "institution"......I tend to agree with that assessment and would vote accordingly""

This whole paragraph is nothing more than the perfect exposure of the prejudice and discrimination of the dyed-in-the-wool homophobe. Broken down into plain language it translates as "Homosexuals are not normal human beings, I hate the way in which they live their lives. They are dirty perverts and since I am normal, I should not be subjected to their being allowed the same rights I enjoy".

If you want to inject a little (very little) credibility into your claims, you should be prepared, not only to say that Gay Marriage weakens the "Institution", but precisely how, and why it does so.

Otherwise you are simply expressing your opinion, which is no more valid than mine, or that of "Gay Pride".
