It's funny, but this comment actually sums up the anti-gay marriage side pretty tidily. It's also a great example of why social conservatives tend to lose these arguments (against gay marriage, in favor of segregation, against women voting, etc, etc...)

The trend towards a total epistemic closure on the right in the last couple of decades hasn't helped much.

A good example here, where the defendants in the Proposition 8 appeal couldn't even be bothered to put forward an argument:

The Supreme Court is not going to reinstate a law that blatantly discriminates against a minority group.
