marriage

A religious civil union of two persons;
A legal union for the protection of children
In most European countries, no religious ceremony is recognized by the state. (True separation of church and state.) Therefore, all church weddings occur only after a state ceremony.
In the Netherlands, even gays may marry by the state even though the church doesn't recognize it.

After a couple's marriage, all children born are considered to have automatic declaration of paternity.

gay marriage

The extension of certain essential rights--joint tax filing, hospital visitation rights, bereavement leave from work, to name a few--to mutually loving, consenting couples, regardless of sexual orientation.

Its legal ban is part of President George W. Bush's bid for the Bible Belt's vote in the 2004 election.

We shouldn't allow gay marriage because gay couples cannot reproduce! In fact, elderly couples can't reproduce either, so let's nullify their marriages! And while we're at it, let's ban sterile people from marrying too!
If we allow gay marriage, fairies will come from La-La Land and magically turn everyone in the United States gay, stopping us from reproducing! So ban gay marriage!
