Straight people have been crapping over that "sacred institution" throughout history. Not one of you has the moral highground to claim that marriage ought to be preserved as is. (That being said, I am not pro gay marriage because I dont like the means that liberals are using -- such a judicial activism.)

How does wanting to "join a club" equal "crapping all over" that club? It doesn't. The arguement against "redefining" marriage is a red herring; some just want to make it include more couples. its not being redefined. That's like saying "If you buy a Buick, mine is screwed." One has nothing to do with the other. Unless you're trying to write your own, intolerant religious prejudices into law.

So, in the name of "tolerance" you would create an environment that's intolerant to morality and commonsense.

your first major error is thinking marriage is some sort of "club".
you feel excluded,so you attack it,and try to imitate it.
In this life, a number of relationships are of great significance, such as the relationship between a customer and his banker, a patient and his doctor, or even a congregant and his pastor. These are important relationships-some of which produce near-familial emotions, binding people together at a deep, deep level.

And while all of these relationships are important, they are but proximate compared with the ultimate earthly relationship—and that is marriage.

In fact, among relationships, marriage stands out as the one which is absolutely essential to the future of humanity. Despite this inarguable fact, marriage is...
