Mig, you're not on a limb. You're solidly affixed to the tree trunk. I heard on the radio last night that 65% of Americans are opposed to gay marriages and that number has even increased over the last 6 months. Speaking from the Catholic point of view, the marriage or union of two people of the same sex is not condoned in the Bible. There are several references to this. It is also viewed as against natural law. Now you can get into semantics and legalities about "marriage", but for many Judeo-Christian followers same sex marriage should not occur.
