That's why I spoke of people who want to be married in the tradition of the religious stream of their preference.

though an not all religions are against homosexuality

Agreed, but I was referring to Christianity (and various branches thereof) since you spoke of the US, where most gay couples who want to be married want to have a Christian (type of) wedding.

I think gay marriage is fine. Let them.

All it takes is a solid separation of state and religion, leaving no reasonable argument against gay marriage.

That would be nice if that could happen, but in practice it would be hard because people are people in the end.

I believe marriage should be only between a man and woman, not between 2 men, 2 women, 1 man and 2 women, 1 woman and 2 men, let alone 2 men and 2 women.

I don't believe in straight marriage.  I don't get the people who think that gay maariage will "ruin" marriage.  What's left to ruin?  I say make it so that any two adults, whatever their respective genders and/or sexes, can get married, but enact some legal contract where there's a time limit, after which there's the option to renew, or to quit and start over.   

(Although I'm all for gay marriage, I'm only half-joking, about the other part.  Then again, I'm the child of at least two divorces and up to five or six, depending on how you count them.)

I am very curious to see what the gay divorce rate is compared to the straight divorce rate, and why.

Ditto, though finding out "why" would be damn hard and I'd settle for just the divorce rates and some correlations to whatever factors seems to stand out.

3 men and 3 women would be ok, i think.

the bible, itself, talks of the trinity.

Are you kidding?  People can't handle one spouse at a time, let alone three.  I'm morally opposed to it on the ground that it would cause a massive outbreak of crippling migranes.  It would cause great suffering.

I saw a television show about plural marriages among the Fundamentalist Mormon offshoot of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and I thought it was fascinating.  As long as all the partners enter the arrangement of their own free wills and they are all over 18, I consider it none of my business,  although I would never enter such an arrangement myself. 

Of course, in the case of the father severely beating his 16 year old daughter because she refused to marry his brother, her uncle, that just made me sick to my stomach.  It makes me wonder just how much free will some of these young people have.

Threes are truly mystical. I don't know if I agree with 6's though.
But, whatever floats your boat.

1 man and 2 women would be a trinity too..... Oooh wait, that's a manage a trios.
