Well, that is what should be made illegal then, don't you think? (Just make a 'civil union' possible which has no preference for sexual relations. You don't need to call it 'marriage'.)

No. "Also the state is saying that gay relationships are inferior to straight relationships by denying them the right to marry."

The orginal intent of marriage was slavery. Women were slaves of men and marriage use used to solidify breeding rights vis-a-vis specific women. Let's not use the original intent argument, cuz I doubt any of us really want to go back to what marriage was originally like.
