Beyond the blatant discrimination of "those people unlike me", their logic is full of stupid.

1) Sanctity of marriage: In the past "men and women" got married for a whole host of un-sacred bullshit: wealth, convenience, unexpected pregnancies, arranged, etc. >:[ While a bloke might be thinking "Oh god, oh god, oh jesus" as he stares down the barrel of a shotgun wedding, it does not a sacred union make.

2) Divorce rate is going up, unwanted kids are filling up the system, and many unhappy couples are all about some infidelity. These things can all happen with gay couples and it's no less 'unholy'.

3)It was not too long ago that white people and black people couldn't get married. The amount of black people ignoring this is making my brain want cry now. >:[

Full of stupid.

Ah yes, and we can't forget that God will surely smite down our liberal, crazy society if we let gays marry. It's right up there with babykilling and being Athiest, and that's just not Amerrican.

Don't gay people bleed corrosive acid and eat babies?

I believe Canada's had same sex marriage since 2003 and their society hasn't collapsed yet or been consumed in a fireball of God's wrath. Or has it? *checks* Nope still there.
