Gay marriages... dictated by religious authorities

I expect sexuality to not be a factor in any dealings not related to sexuality

Again, I think you are confusing a legal issue with a sexual one. Many married people do not have sex at all. Many unmarried people do have sex. Many heterosexual married couples have "unnatural" or "non-procreative" sex. Issues of sexuality and what people consider "normal" have nothing to do with the legal protections of marriage, which is what homosexuals want and what the OP was addressing.

I don't think homosexuals care if you think their sexuality is perverse or if the church won't recognize their union. But they would like to be able to leave their inheritance to their loved one, or act as a health care proxy for them, or any of the other rights us "normal" people take for granted.
