Against homosexual marriage
To be clear here, this is entirely a legal issue, Harry! How is it NOT?
In a nutshell, gay marriage hurts me by setting a legal precedent that redefines marriage, thereby setting a precedent to further redefine marriage. It also means that other states will be faced with a decision to accept transplanted gay marriages or not, creating a "Defense of Marriage Amendment" fight (just in time for a liberal Congress, as well.)
- People living a homosexual lifestyle want a specific legal status since they're apparently not happy with the status they now have
- This particular decision goes to the core of judicial activism
- This particular decision goes to the federalism issue
What legal argument can be used to oppose a further redefinition?
No, simply put, traditional marriage has to enjoy a "favored status" over all other "civil unions" and remain a special case, because sure as shootin' this is NOT the end of it.
Now, if you have ANY common sense whatsoever you will realize that any society cannot endure if the basic building block, which is the nuclear family unit, is degenerated. This is not rocket science.
The abominable thing is that gay marriage PROPONENTS (not gay marriage enablers who are just clueless) don't give a crap about society. They care about themselves and their own sense of acceptance.

Are you talking about another issue altogether, Harry? Discuss it if you wish:
Against homosexuality, not homosexuals
Most citizens DO NOT accept homosexuality, nor in my opinon should they. They should, however, accept and treat homosexuals as anyone else.
Which is common sensical, because homosexuals are not "homosexuals". They are merely regular people that have some frequency of homosexual sex. Get the difference?
What they do in their own bedrooms does not define them in any way, shape, or form, unless they choose to "join the gay lifestyle" which is largely a political decision to define themselves, which many seem to want to do.
Since race (inaccurately) is the favorite analogy used to support gay marriage, I'll reluctantly drag blacks into this. There are no "black people", either--merely people who have more melanocytes. They aren't "different" any more than any other population subset. They become "black people", though, when everything in their life is viewed through the prism of race. It's a hang-up.
People who practice homosexuality are great. Or slobs. Like anyone else.
Homosexuality is a forgivable sin. It's merely a sexual decision that is unprofitable, like many if not most sexual decisions. But there is a correct sexuality as defined by the Maker of man, and homosexuality is expressly prohibited. I won't pretend to have exhaustive knowledge on the dangers, but I could name a few. Just because monogamy is necessary for correct sexuality, it is not sufficent (for any of us).

The problem with America these days is that too many identify with a political special interest group (including evangelical Christians, unfortunately). Multiculturalism divides a society. This striving to identify ourselves in some unique way is destructive to our cohesion; feminist, evangelical, gay, black, whatever.
To you politically active amongst us who think expanding the definition of marriage to include same sex partners is a reasonable request: PLEASE do what's right for society, not a special interest group. Support man-woman traditional nuclear families. To you who like to have sex with your same gender, this is your society too. We will all rise or fall together.
