I can give you details on how this effects me personally, but these reasons are my own and not shared by the entire population opposed to gay marriage. So will these reasons suffice as "good enough" to you? Probably not, therefore there is no reason to list them. We can agree to disagree on this and shake hands as "friends".
Although I can't even fathom why you would be affected by gays being allowed to marry, I can agree to disagree and now give you a virtual handshake.

So, I leave you with this to ponder...what if sexual orientation is neither genetic nor realized choice I.e. we remember precisely when we made the choice. What if sexual orientation is a subconscious choice we make? Is it possible that this is the case? The subconscious mind is very powerful and at the same time very mysterious. I have looked into it a bit recently and found the research very interesting. I might add that I believe sexual attraction/preference to be a subconscious decision as well. Check out the study, " Science of Sex Appeal". It is very interesting to see how at first glance it would seem attraction is purely an "evolutionary" program of which we have no control over; yet when studied in depth, the brain is very much involved and at work in our "idea" of what's is "sexy" and what is not and how society as a whole influences it.
The subconscious? I don't know about all that for sure. I would assume genetics over the subconscious. My opinions are choice and DNA.

And you've been a good boy by not bringing in your faith talk, lolol. Later, QD.
