Contrary to your interpretation, there are rights gained when a couple marry. E.g. rights to things like shared pensions, tax reductions, etc. In this country that is, perhaps things are different stateside. These are rights, because by being married, people are entitled to them.

Well then, I know what you're talking about, but those are considered priviledges, not rights.

To clarify for you then, romantic love

Yup. "I'm romantically attracted to the two year old. I want to marry him."

Times and traditions change, once it was forbidden to divorce, once people didn't get a choice in who they married. But the spirit of it carried on, so times change, smae-sex marriages become common. The spirit is still the same so how is that 'raping the tradition of marriage'. I can assure you, I do read your posts, I try to reply and address the issues in a sensible manner based on my opinions.

"times and traditions change" is not an excuse to break one of society's fundamental pillars down. At this point, it seems we have a fundamental difference of opinion.
I value the traditional marriage. I value real families. I value the way society is. I have no desire to see those twisted "relationships" take form on my society, and I will support and vote accordingly.
You disagree, and I'll respect your opinion to disagree.
