I think there’s a fundamental issue here that always goes unsaid. Are conservatives willing to associate with gays? The answer often appears to be “no” If a gay couple moves into your neighborhood and invites you to a house warming BBQ, do you attend? If a gay person offers to help you promote a candidate, would you approve? I suspect that in many cases the answer again is “no.” Am I wrong?
One does not need to purge any of their personal associations in order to recognize that what is being sought by this particular "big spender," is a direct attack on the validity of the traditional processes by which families are formed, and the multi-generational pursuits of a people, crystallize.
Let us not speculate on whether the "big spender," has a personal problem, or has merely bought an obviously flawed argument. The fact is that the argument is hopelessly flawed. Calling an effort to sanctify the muscular exercises in which some people engage, "marriage," is simply on the same level as trying to legislate a geocentric universe. It simply will not fly.
