When I see arguments of this type, I usually tend to be pragmatic and look to follow the money trail as it is they who usually form the strongest lobbies as far influencing legislation. In other words, who benefits financially from disallowing gay marriage? In this case, I just don't see it. Could it be a purely moralistic resistance and, if so, from who and for what? Why are people so quick to involve themselves (or more accurately, inflict themselves) into the lives of others? Simply nothing better to do? Fear of a decaying morals in our society? Decaying to what ... acceptance of others and an altruistic culture. What a horrible thing THAT would be. Sounds too much like ... like ... Christianity.
P.S. Try as they might, there has been no genetic links to homosexuality to this date. Looks like nurture is in the lead so far.
