I understand completely. Same-sex marriages oppose conservative Christian views, I agree. I simply do not believe that homosexuals should be denied the right to LEGAL marriage based on RELIGIOUS belief.

I could turn the metaphorical table and say that marriage in itself should be made illegal because it opposes the beliefs of those who are morally opposed to the idea of the union of two people. The truth, however, is that American laws can not be made to suit the moral views of everyone, they can only be made to protect the liberties of the American people, homosexuals included.

Sorry about removing this post a few minutes ago. I have reposted my words, even though I believe my argument (in this post) is unsound.
