Marriage existed before any of those religions (before recorded history in fact). It was originally used to, among other things, create alliances between kingdoms and families. It's a civil institution, and has been for a very long time, because it has civil consequences. Therefore, not only does government have every right to make yesterday's decision, but religion has no right to interject into this decision. We are NOT a theocracy. At the same time, no one is forcing churches to marry people if they want to be bigoted about it.
In any case, I find the OP's lack of a link for people supporting "pedophilia" (I guess he meant marriage to underage children?) to be disingenuous, since the intention is clearly to link homosexuality to sex with children, something the religious right movement has always attempted to do but has always required a massive leap in logic.
Beyond that, we already have places that actively allow legal marriage of adults to children, which is itself an ancient practice that's been done for millennia. So you can't really ask about where "humanity's" morality is heading, when we already have places with legalized pot, and we have places that NEVER illegalized incest, polygamy, and marriage to children.
