Marriage: Shouldn't it be a happy subject?

Majority of Californian citizens voted in favor of banning gay marriage in the state. Protests and rallies are being held against this decision all over the state and media is having a field day.

This whole issue brought up some random thoughts in my mind:

On one hand more and more heterosexual couples who have right to get married, do not care about getting married. And on the other hand, homosexual couples who want to, are not allowed to. It seems sadly funny that we always want what we can't have and don't want the things that we can have.

It seems like a hypocrisy too that the people who are banning gay-marriage are not banning pre-marital sex, adultery and divorce. Aren't these against the 'holy institution of marriage' as well?

Why can't we live our lives on our own ideals and let others do the same? Is that so difficult to do or is it that we just love fighting against each other to keep our lives from getting peacefully boring? I think its the second one.

it's hypocritical. wanting others to randomly confirm to standards set by someone somewhere...

i think they should rather ban drunken marriages in vegas!! make couples take an alcohol test before they say "i do".
