I'm against gay marriage because I'm against marriage.

I agree with the point in the title but I must say I disagree with the article overall. Sure, many people opposed to 'gay marriage' don't do so out of intentional malice, but that doesn't make them not bigots. Calmly and respectfully stating an oppressive viewpoint doesn't negate its oppressive effects and origins. Ignore the discourse and look at the real social consequences of the implementation.
