Participantjp, I agree that religion is what gets people emotional about it. And I think that a lot of people on both sides don’t understand why the other side is so emotional about it.
I could be wrong, but I don’t think most people who are for gay marriage are thinking of it in the religious sense. I think that their opinion is that they should have access to all the legal and finanacial benefits that heterosexuals have access to.
And if people support gay “marriage” using the word “marriage” in the religious sense (repeating myself from an earlier post: there are other definitions), then I disagree with them. And I also think it shouldn’t matter. The government shouldn’t have anything to do with religious marriage. And religion shouldn’t have anything to do with the law.
And I think (and I could be wrong here, too) that people who are against gay marriage are mostly thinking of marriage using the religious term. Some of them can’t even acknowledge that there is another meaning to the word. And that’s why they’re so upset about it.

ParticipantIf this is about semantics, people need to get over it. Companies marry! Sirius and XM hope to marry. Hope that doesn’t send the religious folks into a tailspin.
