"... Making those rights and responsibilities available to gays, or universally, has no impact at all on the heterosexual ones. It is not taking anything away from them. It simply allows people to enter into that agreement without discrimination..."

Exactly! I have hetero siblings, 2 sisters and 1 brother, who are married. They agree that I will not be taking anything away from them if I am allowed to "marry" my partner.
