I think "marriage" has this religious meaning to it. And let's face it, in most places, religious ceremonies are accompanied by legal papers regarding marriage.
I've never agreed with religion, so it should come as no surprise that I think all "marriages" are equal, since they're only a legally-binding contract to me.
From the religious perspective, I'll never understand it. "Tradition" isn't an acceptable point, as Lurker pointed out. Traditionally, men rule (and essentially OWN) their wives. I'm pretty sure the majority of this nation at least does not follow that stupid "tradition" anymore.
Two consenting adults should have every right to be both married in a civil union AND marriage, but ha ha, no one listens to atheists on the matter! What do THEY know about marriage!? Heathens. (But somehow, we can call ourselves "married" if we wanna)
I may not be coherent here as it's late and I am short on sleep.
