Well, to me the legal, moral and pure definition of the word marriage means between a man and a woman. Period. No if and's or butts, that's just what I believe.
Also, to me, it's a religious word, period. It's up to the religions to accept gay marriage, not the government. I think it's an infringement on the 1st ammendment to have state marriages in the first place, they should only be called civil unions.
Since neither party holds this viewpoint, it makes it a null set in terms of effect on my vote.
