I could almost agree with the opposition, but for one problem with their argument:
They don't feel gays can fall in love with one another, that they are trapped by a sexual fetish or desire, and that if they were "cured" they could have "normal" sex and feel love for the first time.
Therefore, only heterosexual love exists, because that's what God designed.
Right... however, plenty of heterosexual people get married for money, for political power, for lust, and for security, not for love. So even if I conceded gay people can't fall in love (something I cannot concede, because it's not true...), they still have a right to get married, because straight people can get married, love or not.
People should have the right to choose their adult partner to spend the rest of their life with, be they different race, same race, different religion, same religion, no religion, be they same sex, opposite sex, or transgender.
To say that marriage is something only men and women should be able to have together, is the same argument used to deny different races, different religions, from marrying. Can atheist/agnostic people get married? Under the state, they can. So, why is it not possible for two people of the same gender to get married?
Also, what about transgendered people? Can they not get married to either sex because they are somehow "freaks"? It's the same kind of thinking.
