I always think best when I ask questions... So:
Why is gay marriage an important issue?
There is a significant portion of the population that identifies itself as gay, and they deserve equal rights, much like any other citizen. Discrimination is discrimination and it is still rampant.
How has this become an issue?
The Bible and traditional Christian beliefs state that homosexuality is a sin. And yet...?
Homophobia? Fear of what is different?
Seeing as a radical change often disgruntles one or more of the involved parties, a gradual route should be opted for, and taken. Starting today. Envision the implementation of a nation-wide civil union in the next 2 years, simply as a starting point towards further equality. One could hope for federally approved same-sex marriages within the next 5 years.
