Marriage doesn't need to be protected from gay people. Gays pose no threat to anyone's relationship. Those who say so are only reacting out of fear – without a rational basis. The sheer hypocrisy about 'protecting marriage' when many heterosexual people (Congress included) make a mockery out of it on a daily basis needs to it. It's OK to have an opinion either way about it, but at least let's be honest about it. I don't want ANY govt telling me who I can/can't marry or deny me the same rights heterosexual couples get. As for kids, they'll be alright. All they need is love, guidance and acceptance. Both gay and straight parents can provide that.
