As to why we should not alter marriage to include homosexual unions, I feel that doing so would ultimately damage our society. I feel that as citizens of a self governing society that we have the right to limit the legal definition of marriage to what will best benefit society.

How would homosexuality damage our society? Im still curious how two loving men getting married is bad for the society. Can you explain that?

Because it is a slippery slope. If you allow a variant union then it establishes precedent for ANOTHER variant union (variant is not meant as a slur - it is just a term to mean that something isn't the norm).
So then the courts would have to rule (eventually) whether a father could marry his daughter (or his son). And what about multiple partner marriages? Why shouldn't a man be allowed to marry 2 women? Or a woman marry two men? What about two men and two women?
All these points were well covered by kg in the thread that I linked earlier.
