You're against gay marriage because giving them more options to decide how to pursue their personal relationships reduces their liberty? What?!

There is a variety of empirical sources that show that homosexuals, especially males, do not view monogamy in the same way that heterosexuals do. That is to say, that most homosexuals believe that being married does not mean that you must exclusively have sex with that one person. Now, I'm actually not using this as some moral precept against homosexuals, what I think it indicates is that homosexuality includes SOME sort of lifetime promiscuity.
Gay marriage creates new social norms, one that is approved by the majority which is heterosexual. Approving of gay marriage basically means approving of gays when they follow what is basically a heterosexual bourgeois lifestyle. That is, married, monogamous, with children. This imposes a standard of morality that homosexuals need to follow for acceptance but which may be contrary to the lifestyles they want to lead.
