One of the republican senators who voted in favor of the proposal explained that, while he was raised Catholic and believed that same-sex marriage was wrong biblically, he did not see any reason why it should be prohibited legally.
This is something I can completely agree with. There are lots of things that I don't do because I'm a Christian. However, I don't feel it's my right, in a country that was supposed to have been founded on freedom of religion and separation of church and state, to impose my beliefs on non-believers via legislation.
So, for me at least, that knocks out one of the major arguments that opponents of gay marriage use. However, that still leaves the other big argument, one I've always found amusing...
Allowing gays and lesbians to marry will destroy the sanctity of marriage and lead to an increase in divorce!
