Gary,

I have the same question based on your statement about impact on others.  I think the ball's still in your court.

Since I've done that one before Mo, why not just for fun 
try a different approach. Why don't you explain to me all the myriad ways 
in which you being able to marry your partner is a benefit to me and/or society? 
Explain how it will be good for children (mine or yours, assuming you have any), 
how it will strenghten families, and how it won't cause large problems with 
regard to an already tottering social security system. Lay out how it won't set 
the stage for polygamous and polyandrous unions with all the inherent problems 
that will bring. Perhaps, if nothing else, explain to me what the major tangible 
benefits of it would even be for you and your partner.
 
All the things that you claim you long for can be achieved 
by other legal means. It is my understanding that most states allow pretty much 
all accomadation to homosexual couples as they do hetro except the title, why so 
adamant in your insistance for a change to the status quo?

One question Gary.  I am hoping you can clarify this point 
  for me...

How would my desire to marry my partner adversely affect you? 
  

Your marriage, I am making an assumption that you are married, has no 
  effect on me, so why would mine have any bearing on you?  Why do you 
  advocate for denying me and my partner a legally recognized marriage?  
  

Not that I expect an answer but I thought I would put it out 
  there.  I guess anybody who is opposed to same gender marriage could 
  answer this question.  And so we don't head down the ridiculous path of 
  marrying goats, I am defining same gender marriage as two consenting 
  adults.  

-Mo
