The fact that they are gay, to you, means they're not good enough to get married because their condition is unnatural or wrong or something to that effect.

Sure, you could take my reasons as to why I oppose gay marriage and equate them to me having a problem with gays in general, but this simply isn't so. While I understand where your reasoning is coming from, I don't agree with it. As odd to you as it may seem, my opposition to gay marriage has little to do with fact that two people are gay as opposed to keeping marriage between a man and a woman (If someone wanted to marry their pet, I'd be opposed to that under the same reasons I oppose gay marriage, if that makes sense).
