XCpt - I accept your belief that a homosexual couple does not affect me personally - but I would disagree that allowing such a couple to 'marry' does no harm. Marriage is a religious recognition of a union between man and woman in all cultures I know of; there may be civil recognition of homosexual couples, but that is not a marriage - calling it such does degrade the ideals of marriage, much as allowing divorce for any reason has, as shacking up has, . . . but I diverge. When the federal government (or state government) gave special recognition to marriages, it was to encourage marriage, to encourage population growth - something that a homosexual union will not do. Should the federal government be promoting population growth with special incentives or breaks? Yes, there are good reasons to support such incentives - but those incentives make no sense to when marriages bare no fruit, but then the issue of 'fairness' comes in, and politicians are always looking to extend ANY benefit to as many constituents as possible because that may mean more votes. No matter which side they are on, ALL politicians want more votes!
