Do you think that same-sex marriages should be legal, illegal or not under the jurisdiction of the law at all? Why or why not?

As a Christian, I believe that God created "man and woman." In our age where truth is relative, that black and white statement has risen to gray areas when it comes to marriage.
However, the government's inconsistent since we tolerate polygamy among Moslems but not among Mormons. Same-sex couples have virtually adopted a new kind of religion or non-religion.
I'm against same-sex marriages but I'm not condemning same-sex couples. They're imperfect human beings just like me.
We may decide soon that same-sex marriage is legal. But, it doesn't make it any moral.
We cannot legislate morality. (How I love that statement!)
I think marriage should be completely irrelevant to the government - taxation, health, probate, as well as morality issues should be considered independently of whether or not people are involved in a committed relationship.
Hetero, homo, or transexual relationships should be regarded equivalent and unimportant - the importance of those relationships should only be considered by those involved in them.
I think that making a personal commitment to another human being is just that, personal in nature. I've come to believe that marriage as we know it, is a legal contract that often times binds two people- unfortunately- far beyond the time when they should have parted ways.
There are legal & other advantages & disadvantages to marriage...
Overall, I think that I am indifferent on this one. It doesn't really impact my life personally. So long as it doesn't hurt anyone- live & let live.
Don't care. I think it's a manufactured issue designed to get people to show up at the polls.
