Another State Legalizes gay Marriage

[Ser Clegane]

To expand the question a little bit - how many of those here who are married have the feeling that the value of their marriage would be diminished by allowing homosexual couples to marry?

(NB: I am talking about the "legal" marriage of homosexuals here - not about marriage in church)

I have been married for 13 years and I am ok with it. I don’t see a diminishing effect or a watering down of the meaning anymore than we get from the 50% divorce rate that already exists.

The only thing about gay marriage that bothers me is the same thing that bothers me about straight marriage. I don’t think a lot of people wait until they are ready and I don’t think a lot of people take it serious enough. I see infidelity as a big issue with a lot of gays I know. Perhaps it is a guy’s take on casual sex but I don’t think it is conducive of a long-term relationship.

Married for twelve years, still on my first wife. I fail to see how gay marriage has any impact whatsoever on my marriage. Someone needs to explain the connection to me.
