When you say, "I honestly do not understand the debate- WHY would anyone feel threatened by gay marriage? "

Might I add a why would anyone be upset by the thought of gay sexual interaction unless they are repressing, at minimum, a fascination about the sexual acts going on that they are missing?

As long as sexual activity is considered to be santioned by religious doctrine and enforced by religiously inspired legislation then the ethics and morality of sex is the venue of god squads and activities deemed deviant can be proscribed and control passed from the individual to the religious leadership.

Unless you can be convinced sex is "dirty" you probably won't be controlled by any church's dictates. If the sexual dictates of the pious don't influence you, you probably won't buy into the other dogma being sold as right, proper, and examples of ultimate truth.

But the best line in your post is when you said, 'WHY ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT IT?!'
