I think that not having laws banning homosexuality gives legitimacy to homosexuality. Giving homosexuals the right to marry or have civil unions only gives legiimacy to such marriages and not the lifestyle itself.

Gay marriage is not separate from the gay lifestyle. No gay lifestyle no need for gay marriage.
