I disagree.
Although marriage is a Christian ritual, the symbolic joining of two partners for "life" affords them in the eyes of the law certain rights.
Married couples have rights to pensions do not have to pay inheritance tax on property passed between them when one dies and have access to hospital records. These are just a few among about 1000 special rights that married couples get.
All gays/lesbians want is equality. The "marriage" is just a tag for equal rights in the eyes of the law.
