You also get, which is still happening, an open denial of scientific evidence that actually puts us in danger (such as denying global warming)
As Richard Dawkins said, human rights and modern morality have come on over centuries of rational discussion and logical debate. They're not plucked out of thin air, and they make for a better society than "this book says this is the law, so follow it". I know which society I'd rather live in. Everything should be open for discussion and debate, and yes that includes the right for gays to marry. However, some things like gay marriage there are very weak arguments against, which is why the argument fails and why you make an ass of yourself for trying. Stay pressed though.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
