Grr...you stole my arguement. But yeah, I totally agree on that. Things need to be more Black/White when it comes to politics and especially on the topic of marriage. The concept should be recognized along traditional lines because tampering with the idea of a life union between two people has a high risk of people thinking that homosexual marriage is an offense to their beliefs or practices, beliefs which in themselves are a very defining part of society. So if homosexual marriage is endorsed by the government there's too much risk of unrest, more than usual I mean.

The economy will love homosexual marriage because of more joint taxes, but the people who are active in their religious practice will hate it.
