Heh, try telling that to a married couple. I can assure you it's more than just a piece of paper to all married couples I know.
Thats right. Now tell me why it isn't as important for a gay couple as it is for a straight couple.
Of course it's important to them, but that is not the issue. A "gay marriage" would be in total contrast to what marriage is.[/quote:6daa1]

It appears to be in contrast to what you think marriage is. To me, marriage is a bond between two people who love eachother. To you, marriage is a bond between a man and woman who love eachother. So I guess you could say we have a technicality issue.[/quote:6daa1]

Perhaps, but every dictionary I can find defines it as "The legal union of a man and woman as husband and wife." Not to mention the whole "thousands of years" tradition thing we've got going.
