It's really gross how many people think everything in life is a zero sum game. The anti gay marriage folks are like that: if gay people can get married then somehow their own marriage is lesser. If people who aren't working get healthcare, then it somehow takes away from them. It's disgusting.
It's a cover, they're just trying to erect a stiff wall of turgid legislation with no gloryh- I mean, loopholes, in order to take that option away from themselves. Worried that the temptation will bulge out of them some crazy night in Vegas and they'll wake up with a new husband like that one time in 1972 that he and his curiously close best friend never talk about (but think about often).
I'm sure there are a number of "we can't allow gay sex because we'd all be having it if it was allowed and everyone should resist the sin like me" people, but there really are a lot of folks who feel it takes something away from them if others get what they have. It's like the mentality of the guy who loves his BMW until his neighbor gets one too, and then he has to get a more expensive car.
