I think alot of people are not seeing the forest because of all the trees. The real issue is the use of the term "marriage."

The term marriage historically and religiously (except for the Mormons for a while) has meant the legal union between one man and one woman. Personally, I chose not to even vote because I don't really give a crap one way or the other. Just my .02
