Like many others, who oppose marriage equality, you miss the core of the issue as your question suggests. It's clearly not about wanting "special attention;" it's about receiving the same consideration that everyone else receives. Marriage is a civil contract that produces many benefits, some of which are mentioned in my previous post. There is not a compelling argument why any of those rights, benefits or privileges should be denied to a citizen, solely on the basis of sexual orientation. The only argument you put forth is that you find it icky, and that's just not enough, princess.
