I think what gets traditional marriage believers upset is the redefinition of both Judeo-Christian and civil "marriage" as it's existed for thousands of years, by supplanting it with varied pairings/couplings.
I and many other people think that when the civil rights and obligations of civil marriage are what the homosexual couple is seeking, then if legally sanctioned, the union ought to take on a separate license and definition such as "civil union" or "domestic partnership", and leave what God ordained thru the ages as it stands.
I would hope this could be discussed without getting nasty.
