New York Passes Marriage Equality

I'm just not comfortable with how marriage has changed. To me, I thought it was something really special to have between a man and a woman. Now it's not like that anymore. :/ I'd be more inclined to say civil unions instead of same-sex marriages, but that's just me.

So, who'd like to be the first person to flame me? Not that it'd matter since I'm not changing how I feel about what a marriage means to me, but go ahead anyway.

Why flame? Feeling is feeling, and at least you let reason overcome it when it comes to "voting".
Personally I've had no problem switching the idea of "something really special to have between a man and a woman" with "something really special to have between two people". Just as, despite growing up in an all-white country, I was able to upgrade my notion of "human" to include Africans and East Asians, and even feel "marriage" can apply to them too...
