How does having a different definition of marriage mean that someone doesn't like gay people?

A large portion of people who disagree with gay marriage fully support the rights of adults to choose their own sexuality, and enter into any relationship (between consenting adults) that they choose to, but they see marriage as being far more than a wedding; and they see marriage as being a relationship which implicitly requires two people of the opposite sex.

typically, the most intollerant people in a gay marriage debate tend to be its supporters ...

Explain why being intolerant of the intolerant is a bad thing?

How about before he does that, you take a gander at my posts.  For my mind, HappySquirrel has successfully highlighted the fact that you are intolerant.  But you have not displayed for him why someone who disagrees with gay marriage is intolerant. 

Instead you simply revert to your belief that no well-constructed argument you have seen was based on anything other than cultural or religious bias.  First of all I will point out that if an argument is well-constructed, it shouldn't matter what cultural forms it evolved from, as all arguments are founded in a bias.  But secondly, I will point you in the direction of my previous posts. 

Whilst not perfect or in anyway in depth, I believe they are well-constructed.  To ease your mind, I will quickly run over my potentially relevant cultural bias.

I come from a non-religious family, and I am straight.  My mother's parents were Catholic but she didn't carry it forward, my father is a devout athiest.  I haven't attended a church service in anything approaching a voluntary nature (I've been too a few weddings and funerals that made no mention of homosexuality) in approximately 11 years.

I have five best friends.  Two are straight women, one is a straight man, one is a gay male, one is a lesbian.

Dissect away.
