The one I really laugh at is "anti-family". I'd like to know how anyone's family is being harmed if you allow to gay people to marry.
"Well honey, seeing as how John and Bob just got hitched, I guess our solemn vows are now worthless! It's off to divorce court for us!"

I don't think they mean anti-a-particular-family, I think they mean anti-family as in decreasing the number of traditional mother/father families overall, and in their view causing harm to society overall by increasing the number of families that don't have the influance of a mother and a father (using studies of children in single-parent and dysfunctional homes and that sort of thing).

So how would gay marriage decrease the number of traditional families?
Are there really a lot of gay people starting traditional families right now because they can't get married? Besides, what would that say about the quality of families if that was the case?
