Saying "no" is no longer a legitimate political belief anymore than being pro-Jim Crow is.

No (D)
As everyone knows already, I staunchly oppose redefining marriage. However, I do support civil unions which grant the same fullest rights to those who by definition do not wish to get married in the legal and factual sense.
Virtually all my friends do support this however, and as frustrating as I find it, we agree to disagree.

So you're OK with redefining it to "two people of the opposite sex who love each other" and can accept that fundamental change, but you can't accept the much smaller, less fundamental change of allowing same-sex couples too?  Completely and utterly illogical.

By far the most common historical marriage was one man, and whatever number of women he could acquire by force or negotiation.

The idea of "one man, one woman, who monogamously love each other" has only become common in the last couple centuries, and in some countries still isn't. THAT is the radical redefinition of marriage.  If you can support such a revolutionary change of thinking in what "marriage" is, it's mind-boggling that you can't also support the comparatively minuscule edit that same sex-couples are OK too.  It just doesn't stand to any kind of logical scrutiny.
