If you are against gay marriage, explain why without mentioning religion

Seems like a perfectly reasonable grievance if being homosexual can count as a disadvantaged family, than being objectly against it would be one as well.

You analogy is flawed, these people are being punished for their beliefs. Homosexuality is not a belief, it's a deviant sexual behaviour like pedophilia, for example. Though some say it's sexual orientation too, so it might be eventually considered acceptable as well :D

They're being punished for their behavior because it makes an unfit living situation for certain children.  If you can punish all gay couples with impunity I see no reason Christians can't be dealt with in the same manner if they would be unfit parents for closeted youths.  Personally I find their stance much more morally reprehensible than any gay couple.  

Sigh, the difference is that homosexuality doesn't involve anyone that can't legally give consent.  There's a very clear and obvious line there between homosexuality and other what you'd call "deviant sexual behaviours".
