The problem with same-sex marriage is.....?

[dolo amber]

Can someone, ANYONE, please give me an explaination of this? I don't, nor have I ever understood this. I am not trying to sound naive, I'm just hoping someone here has some insight I'm obviously lacking. It would seem to me any correct thinking person would rejoice that 2 people of any gender manage to find love. The whole *homosexual marriage threatens the very fabric of the American family blah blah blah etc.* just MAKES NO SENSE TO ME. Sorry to seem simplistic, but I'm hoping the old adage "ask a simple question, get a simple answer" will come into play.

Also, I'm sure it probably doesn't apply here, but are the stats I keep hearing on telly about "the VAST majority of Americans oppose gay/lesbian marrige" actually accurate, or is it just something they say to convince the sheep that they ARE against gay/lesbian marriage?
