Would not wish to marry myself ever -too hard to live with...
As to this poll , the "get out of jail free cards" mean that only 5 out of 22 voters actually agree with same sex mariage. 5 against, 12 in limbo.
My own answer was given glibbly out of general disillusion with that state, have nothing against it in theory.
Marriage in society has always implicated a sense of kinship = procreation.
Not all married couples have children, for various reasons, but perhaps this is the final knot that needs unravelling - same sex couples do not naturally produce the next generation.
I have nothing against adoption by same sex couples but i think this is what actually blocks a lot of people into seeing these legal (ie marrige) unions as equal to heterosexual marriages.
Just trying to put into words how i see where most prejudice comes from...
