What the people who are against same sex marriage are really concerned about isn't an attack on traditional marriage, they are actually concerned about an attack on their faith. It is a religious issue for them, not a legal one, as fx stated himself.

Legal isn't the standard I use.
They are free to debate this topic all they want to, but they are not free to infringe on the liberties that being a citizen here affords individuals. That is about the legalities, and that is where their arguments fail. So I'm not surprised that what is legal isn't the standard they use, it is however the standard that applies in this matter.
