Actually, Bob, I thought Michael did a fine job of showing the lack of
arguments against allowing same-sex marriage - other than hatred, fear,
and bigotry, of course.

As a gay man, I should say, though, that the institution of marriage
doesn't hold much value for me. But, if that's the only way that gay
partnerships can get the rights that the rest of society enjoys, I'll join
and support the fight.
