The fact that you are offended, Mr. Diaz, should not be paramount here. I couldn't care less. By all means live your life as you see fit. Live long and prosper and all that good stuff. While me and my monogamous partner of 15 years will live ours. It has nothing to do with you. We are private citizens who are concerned and interested in the rights and priveleges that come with full recognized marriage under the law which is different than a mere civil union.
If me and my partner got married, Mr. Diaz, you wouldn't even know. You and everyone else who is so offended should really be a non-factor. So why are you trying to meddle with our pursuit of happiness?
Why is it legal for others to get inebriated in Las Vegas and go to the Chapel of Love, get a tacky yet recognized marriage under the law, only to get it annulled the next day when they wake up? How about the $100,000 wedding with everyone flying in from out of town and the gift registry and all the bells and whistles, only to get divorced less than a year later. All perfectly legal.

Now those are people who should not get married.
