Related to the issue of legalizing gay marriage, I think it is extremely important to stick with the Webster definition of marriage -- which includes "to unite in a close personal way: AND "a legal union as husband and wife" -- I think if two people are the age of consenting adults and meet these two requirements (since gay couples can choose who is generally the husband and generally the wife if they want to) then they should be able to form a legal marriage. I think that anything else ignores their rights, and ignores the definition of marriage itself.
