Its not about allowing Adam and Steve to marry.

I agree. I've debated that point many times on Free Republic against folks who put forward the libertarian arguments that "gay marriage" could not affect anyone but the couples themselves.

Gay marriage doesn’t effect anyone else, unless..
They don’t mind the words Mother and Father being removed from the language.
They don’t mind the words Husband and Wife being removed from the language.
They don’t mind the words Natural Family removed from the language.
They don’t mind other people forcing your children to learn about Gay Sex at the age of 6 over your objections.
They don’t mind the Bible being illegal outside the confines of a Church.

I am so thankful that my children are going into 6th and 10th grades. It's only a matter of time before the queers start suing to have gay sex taught to 10-year-olds in sex education classes, same-sex couples allowed to attend the senior prom and perform public displays of affection, ad nauseam. That sound you will hear is parents of young children stampeding out of public schools.

Next we will find some homo activist that we will have to "honor" like Martin Luther King, "Gay History Month" etc. etc.

If it was just a private matter, no one would be against same sex marriage. But marriage is important in the standards we set for two people, in how they raise their children and how they pass their family's values onto the next generation. And of course marriage relates to religious freedom and the notion marriage properly understood is the union of a man and a woman before God. The same sex activists do not just want Adam and Steve to marry. They want to end marriage and the family as we've always known it and in the process to do away with the values that its stood for thousands of years. So no - marriage is not just about what two people do or don't do together in the bedroom since their conduct reflects on God and on society itself. The Left would like to make it about sex; the argument goes a lot further than the mere exchange of bodily fluids between a couple.
