Don't you think that the 10 Commandments are just a religious outline for living a good and decent life? They are against killing, bearing false withness, stealing, coveting, adultry, and for honoring your mother and father. All are good tenets for leading a good life.
What is the real difference in believing that Moses climbed up on a mountain, saw a bush on fire that did not burn the bush, and was given the 10 Commandments written on stone tablets, came down the mountain, saw the people worshipping an idol, got irate, and smashed the stone tablets - and Joseph Smith (founder of Mormons) who dug up gold tablets in a strange language, had an angel translate the language into English, and then the gold tablets got taken into Heaven without anyone seeing them? Both true or both fables?
Regarding the gay marriage question - doesn't the US Constitution guarantee life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? Oh, I forgot - many of the writers of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence were slave owners. Well, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to all who are exactly like the "framers" of the Constitution.
