Even Clint Eastwood said he doesn't care who marries who.  In the 21st century, this is a non-issue for most of us because we know that someone else's marriage has nothing to do with our own lives, whether it's straight or gay.  For the rest who care deeply, ask yourselves why you are striving so hard to remain part of what's left of bigoted America.  Religious devotion has nothing to do with this issue.  In fact, basic Christian dogma directs you to love everybody because we are all God's children.  So what's all the hand-wringing about?

Seems to me things need to be distinguished. First, the media calls those against gay marriage as "anti-gay". The two are not the same, and it confuses the issue. Second, even if marriage is declared between gay couples, there will always be a distinction between heterosexual vs. homosexual "marriage." Perhaps there will even be a new name assigned to heterosexual marriages by Christians, etc., meaning just another ring-around-the-rosie. I think what Christians are worried about, really, is that if gays can be "married," (which is a deeply religious convention to many) the next step will be some sort of requirement that such "marriages" be recognized by churches, etc. It isn't just a matter of "live and let live"... it is being seen, perhaps rightfully so, as a campaign to tear down the Christian community as something recognized by the government. Eventually, in the eyes of many, this can only lead to persecution of those who take the Bible literally.
