I disagree with WDZ, and totally agree with all other people. Nothing much to add, everything important has already been said:

- Seperation between church and state
- Law and governement forsees many benefits of married couples. Why should people who love eachother be denied these benefits.
- Children of gay couples do not turn gay automatically (that's pure crap)
- Children of gay couples are no different than other children. (in fact, they may be raised in a more liberal open-minded environment, which, in my eyes, is good)

Though, one thing I haven't seen in this thread yet (explicitly):
- There are two kinds of marriage: marrying before law and marring before the church.

I could understand why marrying before the church (catholic) is not allowed in some countries by the church. Though, this raises the question in how 'straightforward' the catholic church is, since it is allowed in some countries. Go figure...

I can not understand why it would not be allowed to be married before the law though (Unless church and state is not seperated, although that isn't a good thing either, imho).
