It's like this.
Does two gay/lesbians in a commited relationship harm you in any manner (other than making you feel uncomforatable)?
How does calling their commited relationship a 'marriage' harm your marriage?
I would think such things as serial marriages, 55 hour marriages (a la Britany Spears), and people who have many divorces are a much bigger threat to 'marriage'.

We are not endorsing it. As far as the church is concerned, I said it should not be allowed. I am not endorsing it but giving the freedom to choose what they want. It's their choice, not mine. I hate to look at it, but that is my problem isn't it? There are many things I hate to look at that are legal.
If we don't want our children to think it is ok, then it's really up to us to fully explain to them why it isn't, and up to us to be good enough spiritual leaders, that God will show them also. God will bless my family, if I follow Him.
WHen it comes to what the Church accepts is a valid marriage, and what the state does, that is entirely two different things even today.
For example, the RCC will not accept the marriage between two divorcee's as a marriage.
