Well, i think if "the defenders of marriage" came out and actually said, "Oh yeah, and we're going to outlaw divorce too," they would find that they had a lot fewer than 60% of the people at their backs.
I have heard a great many homophobic comments rationalized in religious terms. Fortunately, most religious arguments against homosexuality don't really hold any water (unless you're allowed to pick and choose which verses are god's word and which aren't important.) This whole "We've got to save marriage" sentiment i think amounts to nothing more than rationalized bigotry, since i think most people aren't really concerned with the sanctity of marriage. People just don't want "the gays" to be able to get married.
Does anybody not see the incredible irony required for the hetero community to exclude homosexual marriages under the pretense that gay marriage will ruin the institution of marriage? Over half of all marriages end in divorce. How could gay marriage possible make marriage any worse off than it already is?
