Point taken. But why can't a son marry his dad? Or likewise with a daughter?
You see, my definition of what is wrong will be very different from what your definition of wrong. There is no dictionary guidance to being right or wrong. Some people have a completely different set of morals then you, meaning to you gay marriage might be right, to others it is wrong. In a country where we value tolerance very highly, how tolerant is it to tell someone that their morals are screwed up?
Therefore to avoid that approach, you use the basis of "equal rights." A hell of a lot more people would accept same-sex marriage if that was the arguement used.
