I would like also to comment that some states are breaking federal law to let these gay marriages take place, a clear violation of any semblance of order here in this country. Following this lead, states and even individuals are encouraged to break any laws that go against their beliefs on what society should be.

And the slope gets slippier...
Why do you and your ilk get to define marriage?
And to your second point. We all remember what a boon to crime all of the sit-ins were during the civil rights movement. People were all like "Well, if those negros can just go in and sit at a white lunch counter just because they don't agree with the idea that they don't deserve the same rights as white people than i think i should be able to go out and rob as many banks as i want because i don't agree with any law that says i can't rob banks."
In case you're not aware, civil disobedience has a rich tradition in america. Hello boston tea party.
