Hurts me??? I never claimed you did. Im the one that feels pitty, not pain.
Don't bother feeling pity for me. I am the one who pities you for wasting all your time and bandwidth trying to argue a point that you clearly don't have.

Lets resort to using a degarding name for their sexual practice to undermine their sexuality. Nice one.
Ive made my points. I neither dispute the fact that you dudes who like to bugger each other in the but, doesnt really 'harm" me, or that it is your "own private affair." Neither are an arguement that it follows that we should license and regulate this but buggering.
Once again, assuming that marriage is all about sex. Sex, sex, sex.
Could it be that marriage is actually about joining two people who are in love to form a stronger partnership?
I'll jump in with this opinion.
First off... to me the word married only means two people who have chosen to be in a loving, monogamous relationship. If we want to put some kind of a "religious" meaning to it then the word marriage might also mean between a man and a woman.
But I'm not big on religious meanings dictating legal issues. So at the very least whatever it is called under the law... Civil Union... whatever, it should have the exact same legal standing as heterosexual marriage.
Then after the "Civil Union" ceremony the parties involved can call themselves married because the two definitions are interchangeable. Like buffalo & bison... same thing... different name.
Your question, to be honest, is irrelevant. It doesn't matter if you gayness hurts anyone or not. This is a matter of societal norms. And this norm, that homos shouldn't marry, has been more of a civilizational norm for more than 2000 years.
That aside, there are many societal norms that some groups are never going to like. For example:
NAMBLA doesn't like that society frown on adults having sex with young boys.
Michael Vick's ilk doesn't like that society frown on dog fighting.
PETA doesn't like that society finds eating meat is no big deal.
The list goes on and on. None of the above "hurts" me in anyway. But even if something DID hurt me, it wouldn't matter. Society has spoken.
We need conservatives in this world, but we dont need ones like you whos reasoning is unbelievably backward, or without progression at best.
That has nothing to do with marriage.
