Well, look, I think those who oppose gay marriage are generally offended by homosexuality, and have a gut reaction to anything that would legitimize it. Remember that, in most states, homosexual sex was illegal until relatively recently. There are still sodomy laws on the books in some states that make gay sex a crime (not that they're generally enforced that way, but still).
It's what Jon Stewart said--the most rational, sensible thing anyone on either side of the debate has said. It's not an argument about the nature of marriage, it's an argument about whether you view homosexuality as something that's a natural component of the progression of humanity, or some random fetish.
