Don't you know that it's the single most destructive force facing civilization today? Next it will be polygamy, then people marrying dolphins... oh wait, that already happened... well maybe hippos or (GASP) the strange platypi.
Just kidding... I agree with you. The hysteria behind this comes from the Christian right. They don't want it recognized in any fashion because then there is no arguing that this great "christian" nation accepts them as equals, and approves of sodomy. Personally, consensual sodomy between two committed people in the privacy of their own neat and tastefully decorated bedroom.. LOL, is none of my business. Just don't ask me to join in.
Ewwwwww
