let's start loving and supporting one another instead of pointing our finger and judging.

I think that the anti-SSM camp can make their case without judging or pointing fingers.
I know a lot of people were saying homosexuality is "disgusting" and "unnatural" - which is very judgemental - but that's why I decided to try and make a case that was based on reason and not disgust.
Different institutions have different traditions and different functions. We can often stretch the role of institutions to be more inclusive or fulfill more functions. Sometimes this stretching is a good thing and makes the world a better place, but sometimes the stretching weakens the institution and causes it to tear apart. The anti-SSM camp is simply saying that the institution and tradition of marriage is a very strictly delineated one. Furthermore at this time it needs our support, and they contend that the institution of marriage - if I can use the analogy of company - is better supported by concentrating on its core competencies than diversifying into new markets.
