For me, it came down to doing some honest thinking, and I was totally unable to come up with one good reason why gay marriage shouldn't be allowed. And every argument I've ever seen against gay marriage is totally stupid and ridiculous. Gay marriage isn't going to affect my marriage at all, so you can't claim it's "hurting" traditional marriage.
And even if you're against gay marriage and think it should be outlawed, you could pass all the laws you want against it but banning gay marriage is never going to make homosexuality disappear. Gay people will still continue to live together in domestic partnerships with or without a marriage license, so they might as well have all the rights and benefits as everyone else.
And frankly, the writing is on the wall. Gay marriage will eventually be legal in all 50 states, so you can either embrace equality or sit there ranting about how terrible the country has become like some old racist after civil rights legislation in the 60's.

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