If that were so, we wouldn't be having this discussion. We have unequal rights and would like to change that so that we are recognized as equals.

They just want special rights.

Please elaborate. What "special rights" do we want that are not also granted to heterosexuals?

It impacts society as a whole for it legitimizes a sexual fetish.

First, homosexuality isn't a fetish. I'm assuming you're attracted to women. So am I. If this is a fetish, it applies to both of us.
Second, there's nothing wrong with a fetish that doesn't impair one's sexual or social functioning. A fetish becomes a paraphilia only when it causes impairment, and homosexuality doesn't fit.

Also, it will eventually lead to homosexual sex education in our schools and thus upsurping the majority of American families values.

This is a big leap in logic. Explain the connection here, how gay marriage would lead to homosexuality being included in sex education.
I see these as separate issues, and would like to see homosexuality included in comprehensive sex education so that people will be more informed on the subject and we can demystify it. So long as the subject matter being taught is done in an equivalent manner to how heterosexual sex is treated, I have no problem with such an inclusion. Why would this be a bad thing?
