The problem I have with just about every argument against gay marriage, whether it be founded in religous beliefs, or just the old fallback of, "well that's just the way it's always been", is that they always start with "I don't have anything against gays, but...".

I think a good rule of thumb, is that whenever a statement starts with "I don't have anything against (group X), but...." whatever follows "But" is likely a statment that wouldn't be said by someone who had nothing against "Group X".
