Equal protection means "equal protection".  Marriage confers more than 1000 legal rights and responsibilities, it is a legal contract in US law and therefore should be available to all citizens.


More than a million children have been raised by gay couples in this country and why shouldn't those children have the same security as offered to children of hetero couples?


You cannot speak for all gay people when you state why gay people want to have marriage, your assertion that it is only to denote "normality" is as incorrect as your assertion that marriage has always been a heterosexual institution.  Even the Catholic church has a ritual for the marriage of likeness and gay marriages have been widely recognized throughout history in many cultures.


There is no reason that I know of to deny gay people the right to marriage.
