As to whether the specific right to marry with love is a legally guaranteed one, that can be argued. But remember Quote:

Just putting out there some legal facts - I personally think they point in the direction of marriage to someone of their own sexual orientation being a right everyone should have, but that's debatable. As are all things EDIT: And the precise legal point of contracts being upheld between states in the Constitution: Quote:

Divorce is extremely sad. Many Christians are doing their utmost to cut down the divorce rates. We are an extremely bad witness in this area though, because of the example we ourselves have set. It isn't something new though. Divorces have been happening for hundreds of years. It's not a redefinition of something that has been always sacred (like if they started publicly using altars as ping pong tables). Quote:

Really, statistics that compare heterosexual marriages to homosexual relationships shouldn't matter at all. Love is love.

I agree with Chrys, JD, and IRex. Hm... something useful to add myself...
Well, IRex already pointed out that you can't legislate promiscuity. I'll add that swingers are heterosexual couples, can be married, who like to share. Would that become illegal? Would these couples no longer be married?

Also, comparisons between homosexual relationships and heterosexual marriages are inherently unfair: the comparison should be homosexual relationships vs. heterosexual relationships of any type (dating, engaged, married, etc) because the fraction of heterosexual relationships that end up as marriages are already more committed than the average, while the homosexual relationships aren't distinguished as to whether they would marry if it were possible or not. That is, if I date someone and cheat on that person that only counts towards "promiscuity" in the homosexual statistics, not the heterosexual ones (since we weren't married).
