Really? Which conservatives are those? Not this conservative. I have no desire to control someone's homosexual life inside their house. I just don't think that the government should subsidize said life.
Government gives special consideration to heterosexual marriage because that arrangement has classically been in the best interests of the nation, i.e. it can (and usually does) produce offspring.
Now then, the homosexual crowd also wants all the fringe benefits of marriage, which I actually have no problem with at all. Give them all the same tax breaks and rights as a heterosexual married couple.
I just don't want them to use the term "marriage". They can be a civil union, whatever. In fact, I think that there should be two groups of people. One is people who choose to undertake a legal coupling which is then called a union or whatever. You can be gay, straight, bisexual, trisexual, transgender, I don't care. Marriage would be reserved for the church and those people that choose to undertake marriage before God.
