I think the problem is that the gays want acceptance by the marriage community, and little more.
Marriage is a union between 2 people, that was setup, and recommended by various religious institutions. Allowing gay marriage abridges those religious rights, since 99% of all established, formal, religions reject homosexuality as a proper context of marriage.
Give them civil unions, give them access to insurance and hospitals. Do not allow them to tread on churches that are against homosexuality...The issue is that we've blurred the lines between what marriage is (a union between a man and a woman, ordained by God) and a civil union (co-habitation with legal rights).
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
