As it apparently is not a shoo-in, why should it be? This is not to suggest that Marriage should or should not be particularly inclusive or exclusive, but rather why should it be a shoo-in one way or another? Is there some reason that it - or any emotional issue for that matter - should not be closely debated before being decided?
