One thing I don't understand is why do conservative Christians care if other people get married even if they think it's fake marriage or sinful marriage? Is sin transferable? I honestly don't understand why people care.

Personally I think gay sex is gross. I also believe businesses should have a right to refuse service on reasonable religious grounds. But I honestly don't know why people care if gays get married. At this point I think the best way to quiet the gay lobby would be to start to ignore them.

We care because...

Businesses are sued because the owners do not want to participate in gay marriage.

People have been fined for acting according to their conscience on this issue.

One person has been jailed for acting according to her conscience on this issue.

Children have been adopted by homosexual couples and have been brutally raped and tortured by the them. This includes supposedly role-model gay couples featured in major news outlet cover stories.

Gay marriage is an invented right to force others to reject Biblical Christianity and embrace perversion.

Clinton (Bill) implemented “don’t ask, don’t tell” to replace the military policy of kicking out known homosexuals from the military. They claimed they just wanted to be left alone. They claimed they just wanted to have privacy, just like the supposed basis of abortion. Now, holding a different religious OR political opinion on this issue can result in your being FIRED, FINED, JAILED, etc.

Here’s why we care.

Marriage as an institution predates the state. It doesn’t owe its existence to the state, and it will still be with us after the state is long gone. It’s part of what we call the natural law.

Since when does the state have the right to change the natural law?

Because it's a deliberate attack on the Christian concept of marriage.

When something is made legal, it's one step closer to being mandatory. The Left has gained the grounds to force Christians to carry out homosexual 'marriages'. They were one Supreme Court judge away from being able to start a pogrom.

If Hillary had got in, we would all be relearning the history of the Diocletian persecution right about now.

The evil is huge, it can’t be simply ignored. We have to stand ground against it, it’s a huge spiritual battle. Research James Dobson Marriage Under Fire. He explains it well. Here’s a PDF to get you started:
