Here in NH -- and over in VT -- we have civil unions. Over the border in MA, they have gay marriage.
So far, civilization as we know it continues hum along nicely.... perhaps even smoother. There's been no measurable destruction to existing heterosexual marriages, nor a decrease in the number of new heterosexual bonds. The only assault on heterosexual marriage continues to be, well, heterosexual.
Oh, and no one has yet petitioned to marry their dog nor livestock of any kind. So I think we're safe there... though what these fundamentalists dream up or fantasize about in their own bedrooms is their own business.
I don't know what all the fuss is about. (I do really, and I hope these theocrats are soundly routed at the ballot boxes).

I agree. Doesn't affect me, so go ahead.
One of my favorite parts of this story is the pictures of the happy, happy people when this stuff gets announced.
The joy, the love, I find it affirming.
