I'm hesitant to throw out the "anti-gay card" simply because it should be a last resort when arguing with people who are opposed to same-sex marriage. There are indeed legitimate reasons to oppose gay marriage legislation (mine is to avoid further legislating a social contract -- my solution would be for ALL marriages to become "civil unions" in the eyes of the State), however I can think of none to justify the support of "..ONLY between a man and a woman.." constitutional amendments and the like.
