The delicious twisted irony of the whole situation is that, to generalize, people who oppose SSM consider themselves 'traditionalists' who believe very strongly in things like family values and the integrity of the institution of marriage, but then, a group of people who have been opposed, insulted, belittled, discriminated against and in a number of cases killed by these people of such strong values turn around and say "oh wait, despite being bigoted A-holes, this marriage thing of yours is a really, really good idea" these same bigoted A-holes freak right out.
Homosexuals want to buy into this deeply conservative principle, and conservatives are telling them no.
It's like rain on your wedding day.
