“I got brought up being told things were God’s way, and when things didn’t work out, it was called God’s plan, I’ve got my issues with it. I found it very stifling. I always had a lot of questions about the world, even in kindergarten, A big question to me was fairness. If I’d grown up in some other religion, would I get the same shot at heaven as a Christian has? When I got untethered from the comfort of religion, it wasn’t a loss of faith for me, it was a discovery of self, I had faith that I’m capable enough to handle any situation. There’s peace in understanding that I have only one life, here and now, and I’m responsible.”
“What are you so afraid of? That’s my question. Gay people getting married? What is so scary about that? It’s complicated. You grow up in a religion like that and you try to pray the gay away. I feel sadness for people like that. This is where people start short-circuiting—instead of being brave and questioning their beliefs, they are afraid and feel that they have to defend them. “Can you believe that we’re still fighting for equality in America? To be against marriage for everyone is utter discrimination. I feel strongly about that because if equality of marriage doesn’t happen now, the next generation will have to deal with it.

I will explain it to you. I am sure you won't like the answer. But it is the truth nevertheless.
1) There is a God. Science supports this: big bang, biological complexity, verified near death experiences. Only if there is a God does our existance make sense.
2) God has communicated to us. He has done this to different people with different scripture: the Holy Bible, Koran, etc. In all of these sacred texts homosexuality is forbidden.
3) Now to answer your question, which I am sure you are not going to like, but you asked the question so you shouldn't be surprised that someone is answering it. God requires worship and obedience. This may seem foreign to you, but it has been the norm for most societies, since people were created. So why does God create homosexuals, just to forbid this practise. This is the unpleasant reality. God is strict about this obedience thing. It is the price of our existance. If a society does not obey God he will replace them with another who will. God is the creator after all, and he can do what he wants wit his creation. It's a lot of work to create a universe, and he waited for 14 billion years for the universe to get the right conditions for us to be created. So when you think about it, it makes sense to want something in return for all that.
So to finally get to your questions. Sorry for the long diversion, but it was necessary. Homosexulaity is an important element in the process of removing a disobedient society from the world. Children are the future of society. Without children a society will perish. If you understand our society, you will know that people who endorse gay marriage also endores all the policies that mortally impair the ability of families to produce children: no fault divorce, abortion. It is not just one issue, but a cluster of issues that societies that have abandoned Biblical morality will inexorably be drawn into. In short, accepting gay marriage = rejecting God's laws which always leads to their own destruction. This is true for every Western society. That is why America is being given back to the Hispanics, and large Muslim populations now exist in America, France, England, etc.
I kinda wish it weren't so myself. Why can't the church just accept homosexual marriage? Unfortunately, like in nature the weak and unproductive are replaced with the strong. It is how nature is designed to produce a functioning system. So too with human society, we must worship and obey God to survive.
