Void's pretty much got it. That's why so many states have been passing "defense of marriage acts and trying to amend state constitutions to prohibit gays and lesbians from getting married.

And Void and Fenix already said this, but let's just be clear and remember that some day WE will be the old fogies who cramp the style of the younger generations with our stolid, outmoded concepts and inflexibility. Every generations is tied to the previous and the next, each bonding, each overcoming, always moving and hopefully always forward.
