There are a lot of straw men and appeals to authority on both sides of this debate. To sum up some of the of some of the pro-gay marriage arguments presented in a short period here:
religiousness (and therefore opposition to gay marriage) = hypocritical, ignorant, inconsistent, racist
It's pretty easy to scapegoat the group that is "them" and not "we", isn't it?
I think the world would be a better place if people showed a little more empathy for the people around us.
