It might be because I don't WANT to get used to seeing gay married couples, or maybe it's just because I can't. Either way, I view America as turning bi-sexual just because now some states are turning around allowing gay marriage. Maybe it IS absurd, but it's just the way I think.

People were still gay and bi before this movement actually started.

What do you mean you liked America better? The gay liberation movement started before you were even born. How has America changed now that gays can marry in a whopping 4 states?

And of course I want people to feel love and happiness for the other person. If you wanna have a gay marriage, I say go for it. But I don't want gay marriages to be allowed in all the 50 states (only a select few), and I don't think you should be able to move out of that state until within a certain amount of time.

Why only a few states?

No, you don't need to marry someone to feel happy.
There's more to marriage than love; it does involve the state. Married couples get benefits that two people simply living together don't.
