It occurs to me that opponents of same sex marriage do two things.
1. Fail to find any significant difference between gay and heterosexual relationships besides the type of sex they have.
2. Reduce the concept of marriage to the act of vaginal intercourse.
In this way I think that the opponents of same-sex marriage are actually damaging marriage. They are teaching people that it is not the spiritual and emotional connection of a life long commitment of affection and support that is important. Nope! What they teach is important is that there is a penis and a vagina. They reduce marriage to the potential for sexual acts that lead to procreation. Nevermind that heterosexuals utilize birth control and practice forms of non procreative sex in and outside of marriage. They argue that what defines marriage is sex and anything else that comes of the union is of relative unimportance.
