you want to fuck another guy in the ass? I have no problem with it, just don't ask the government to sanction it. When I was single, I wasn't looking for the government to sanction *my* lifestyle.

So you are not a proponent of laissez-faire capitalism, but instead want a government which dictates how people should live? I'd almost think you're a commie
Aside from that, lesbian couples actually do a better job at raising kids than straight couples. Gay couples can also adopt kids, something that is very beneficial to society (kids tend to do better in any situation which provides two parents in comparison to orphanages and such).
Something you could also wonder about is if the possibility of marriage endorsed by the state is what creates long-term, stable relationships. Wouldn't the people who choose to get married stay together for a longer time than those who choose not to get married anyway?
The argument of straight marriages being better for society than gay marriages doesn't hold if you're taking a practical point of view. The only reason one can say straight marriages should be supported by the government and gay marriages should not comes from either religion or conservatism for the sake of conservatism.
