Even incredibly pro-gay people were against it. My mom, while conservative, is very pro-gay, just because she grew up with a gay best friend, and now, in her 60s, has a fair amount of gay friends (they're all around her age, and also conservative). She also has a gay son (my brother) and is still against gay marriage. Marriage is between a man and a woman -- simple, and it doesn't mean you're intolerant of gay people, as my example w/ my mother shows. Additionally, even my brother is against it, and has no plans of marrying his significant other.
However, I will add this: I'm also against government getting involved in marriage at all... but they have. Because of that, married couples are extended certain benefits (typically relating to taxes, owning property, etc). And because of that, I do at least think something should be done to at least afford gay couples the same benefits... a kind of civil union, maybe (the kind Trump spoke about and publicly supported in an interview sometime around 2000). Doesn't require same-sex marriage, but at least something that accounts for the fact that a gay couple is living and operating together the same way a hetero married couple is and thus should at least not be denied similar benefits w/ taxes, etc
I'm good with that. I will add that what constitutes a relationship between consenting adults, and two people who are looking to commit to each other enough to start a family are different avenues entirely. There should be a legal course for each.
They very carefully frame their narratives. Conservatives are people or principle. We stand on our beliefs because they're the foundation of our lives. That makes it a very clear target for exploitation by the unprincipled left.
We believe in things like libery, they say things like "You don't have to believe in it, it doesn't affect you."
Except now, it DOES. It was never enough for them to have two adults doing whatever they wanted behind closed doors. They want to put it right in front of our faces and tell us to watch. They want to force our children into believing, embracing, their depraved worldviews.
I believe in personal liberty, but when it comes at the expense of the society everyone else built? Fuck your "expression."
Gay marriage is as paradox. Marriage is the RELIGIOUS ceremony between a MAN and a WOMEN. What the gays want is heresy, not the highest but pretty fucking close.
OMG DISNEY SO BRAVE! /s
drip drip drip..... small amounts is how you move culture. In 2015 they made marriage legal for same sex couples, and nobody did anything.
People aren't willing to do that, they are still so very comfy... so the train to degeneracy continues.

Gay marriage is still illegal in America.
I speak out against it everywhere I can. I do not recognize gay couples as such.
I am the "bigot" the bigots warn you about.
God will come in his fury and wrath, and he will exact justice.
Repent or be destroyed from off the face of the land.
