For the right to be "angry" at the left for wanting to allow some people the ability to marry is purely and undeniably oppressive. It is a fascist position which, as evidenced in this election, is strongly held by millions on the right.
Whether an individual agrees with the concept or not should not affect the freedoms of millions of people in regard to the concept. But when millions of those individuals vocalize their desire to limit the freedoms of others - that is what comes to pass.

Just the fact that we can disagree on issues like gay marriages is enlightening. Freedom has it's prices and we always have a choice to leave the state or country we live in if we don't agree. Can't say that for many countries.
