 Do you honestly feel people scared of homosexuals? The idea is to protect marriage not because we want gays dead or hate gays.

Marriage doesn't need protection. Homosexuality does not threaten it.

I would beg to differ. What you are doing is re-defining marriage and rights to whatever someone personally feels. Why not allow multiple wives and husbands? Why not allow marriage between animals and humans? Why not with children under the age of 13? Why not with anything. If you re-define basic rights as anyone could do whatever they like because it's right than you have to question why can't just create my own rights. Why are your rights more true than mine?  Why is anything not a right. Your left with everything relative and nothing meanings anything because it's meaningless like Nietzsche would say. 

Is human rights a man made idea in which is completely subjective and if so why not just say your opinion is as neutral as the opposite opinion? Example, did the nazi do anything wrong because they believe humans rights were for there specific people oppose to you who felt the opposite? Is it just a difference in moral opinions on human rights?

Oh, the old 'the world is ending if we allow this' arguement.

Same Sex Marriage does nothing to address multiple marriages or children, etc.  I have no idea why any resonsable person would think it would. 

All that it does address is the gender of the person to whom one can marry.  It is a just another step to do with gender equality, just like removing gender restrictions on the right to vote.  Did you know women served as elected officals in the US goverment before they even had to vote?

Same sex couples have always been here.  Legal same sex marriage makes stronger couples and a better society in general.
