Marriage between two men is an oxymoronic statement...the very definition of marriage is a union between a man and a woman. Why don't gays settle for "civil unions?"....the reason is purely political..they're really not interested in a civil union with the same rights of marriage, instead, they are interested in a political statement that "we are equal to heterosexuals." Again, its symbolism over substance..always the same from the left, whether its race, women's rights, or gays.
