When you've had your fun beating up straw men, you might take a crack at the logical and thoughtful reasons why many reasonable people oppose legal recognition of same-sex "marriage". Yes, such reasons do exist; and people who tell you otherwise either (a) were taught what to think instead of how to think, or (b) are lying through their teeth.

Note: the word "marriage" is properly enclosed in quotation marks to acknowledge the fact that its applicability to same-sex couples is contested by reasonable people. Failure (or worse, refusal) to make this acknowledgement indicates bias, conscious or otherwise.
