[b]I myself am heterosexual and have been happily married for 10 years and will never look for a homosexual marriage.  But I fully support the right of gays to get married and be entitled to all of the legal protections and benefits that are bestowed by the civil institution of marriage.   [/b]

Yes, but being heterosexual you would never have the need to to look for a homosexual marriage.  That's different than saying that you wouldn't have an abortion, even if you faced a situation that would warrant it.[/quote]

Not really.  There have been many men who thought they were heterosexual and later in life, they found they were either bisexual or homosexual and changed their lives and situation and may have the need for a gay marriage.  I doubt I am, but I could be in that situation later in life without realizing it (very common--it is very easy to bury one's sexuality in our culture).

Well in that case you would enter a gay marriage, right?  You're not opposed to ever entering one, you just don't foresee that you will ever feel that you would want to.  I've heard people who claim to be pro-choice say that they would "never" have one, not simply because they don't foresee having the need for one, but simply because they just "couldn't do it."[/quote]
