I wan't to marry my horse....

but Chardish is right, you can't change the definition of a marriage. Besides, the gays can call themselves married if they want, but it can't be recognised by the governement. Legal marriage is recognised as male-female only by governement because legal marriage has financial benefits for the couple. The governement gives tax cuts or something for married couples. The whole point of that is a government inscentive for people to become legally attatched and become more likely tio have kids. That's really old but that's the original purpose. It would be wated money to offer the same financial plans for gay married couples, and thus, their marriages cannot be treated equally by law. Video in philosophy class this year. If the facts are screwwed up, meh.
