You have to be straight unless you like marrying someone of a gender you don't find attractive. Also, I would like to ask you where in the Constitution it says marriage is for a man and a woman only.

Also, if we're going to debate this, we should leave separation of church and state out of it. Many people are against gay marriage for religious reasons, but I'm pretty sure that it's agreed upon that that's a bad reason to enact legislation.

Yes, but there really is no other standing for those against gay marriage. You say it redifines marriage. I disagree that marriage was ever defined as a hetrosexual union legally. The only place where marriage is defined as a hetrosexual union is in THE BIBLE. Being the most prevelant RELIGIOUS document in Western culture.
