Lion, if you're really concerned about "saving marriage," then why don't you preach against divorce to your fellow Christians? It's a fact that fundamentalist Christians get divorced at higher rates than atheists do. Also, if you're concerned with saving marriage, why fight against allowing more people to get married and instead focus on why so many heterosexual couples prefer to live together as a family without going through the formality of having a wedding? This is what I see as the real threat to traditional marriage.
No, I see it as a victory against oppression and bigotry, aka "tyranny of the majority."
Oh, arguing "freedom is slavery" are we?
Actually, allowing same sex marriage will cut down on premarital sex, since all those previously "hedonistic" people having sex outside of marriage would then be married. But I guess conservative Christians didn't think about that.

Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
