I'm with Atticus's analysis of the nation's thoughts on this issue, though my personal beliefs may fall somewhere differently than his. I'm against calling it marriage, nothing more nothing less. I'm for the same rights and obligations but calling it civil union or, really, anything other than marriage.
Its sort of like this: people have relied on the idea of marriage being defined only between men and women for a long time. Why harm them or make them change their understanding of the definition? Why let others change it?
If others want to change the commonly-accepted meaning, let them find a new word to describe it.
