Here is what I think, why get bent out of shape about gay marriage. People have been weakening the concept of marriage for quite some time now. People have affairs all the time, get divorced, separated etc. This weakens the concept of marriage does it not? Yet the same people who are fighting gay marriage do not stand up against these things so "the weakening of marriage" is a pretty lame excuse when battling gay marriage. You have brides deciding that they don't wish to get married yet they will wait until after the wedding to let everyone know because the groom is paying. Does this strengthen the concept of marriage? I think not, if you wish to battle gay marriage then battle these issues first as they are far more damaging to the concept of marriage than a gay couple who actually spends there life together. In the end the lawyers win.
