I ain't saying the Christian Right would be right arguing against this, but I'd expect to hear that at least several of the goal's that might have been achieved by the state encouraging and fostering heterosexual marriage, are not achieved by the state encouraging and fostering homosexual marriage.
But that all goes back to the caveman social contract ideas of sex for protection and perpetuating the tribe and having children to care for the elders yada yada yada.
I'd expect the counter-argument to be that at least a few other goals are still achieved by any kind of marriage... caring for the elderly with the need for minimal state aid etc....
And then I'd expect the other 95% of the arguments to involve the use of words like "Nazi", "hate", "sin" yada yada yada.
In the preliminary stages, it seems both sides are preparing their audience for the stage production of "I'm a victim of those people". The preparation is called "I'm going to be a victin of those people". Sound familiar?
