I honestly cannot understand any sort of logical argument against same-sex marriage. In all disputes, I try to follow Atticus Finch's sage wisdom of "seeing both sides" but here I simply cannot wrap my head around the opposition's logic. Instead, all I see is an emotion: fear. Fear that the "gays" will get to marry and have families just like us. And even worse, such fears point further down into naked horrible intolerance of another group of human beings. Yes, there are many religious argument against same-sex marriage, but religion should never be any sort of justification for political policy. That right there is against every single political tradition we have in this country. George Washington may have been horrified by watching two men kiss, but I like to think he would be more horrified by watching legislators using the bible to decide things instead of the Constitution.
