Same tired old argument put forth by many right-wing religious groups with an anti-gay agenda. BTW, I'm **not** lumping you in with those groups. But commonly it is what they say. Many from that ilk also say that legalizing pedophilia is the next logical step after gay marriage. I recall a documentary from the 50's that used a similar "what next/if" argument with regard to interracial marriages. Fundamentally this is about equal rights. Discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation is wrong. Just as it is wrong to discriminate on the basis of race. creed, or colour. BTW, you may want to look into the history of marriage. It is less about an religious institution than it is about protecting ones vested interests in a partnership. It's a contract, pure and simple. The ceremony often has religious significance and importance, but the actual marriage contract is just that. I don't think us heterosexuals should be fearful and intolerant of gay marriages - worrying that it might turn our population gay. No gay agenda except to have the same rights as us. BTW, I have been living with the same girl for nearly 17 years now. No plans for marriage. Common-law rights have bestowed the same rights and privileges on us as married couples - at least in Canada. And, our love for each other is undeniable and everlasting, with or without a marriage license. But, my gf's brother is married to his boyfriend of so many years. All the power to them and any other 'loving' couple who wish to go the extra step and get married. Not our cup of tea, but both straights and gays should be allowed to imprint their love in marriage if they so desire.
