Well I think the problem is that the proponents see the 'religious people's' view like this "Marriage is a Christian/religious sacrosanct union that shouldn't be broken" but they, I think see it more as "marriage is a social norm and a tradition that we don't think should change"
That's why we never understand each other's arguments. We think they're forcing their beliefs onto us and they think we're trying to break up tradition so that gays can marry. And all the while, we're caught up in lots of rhetoric that stops up from finding an actual answer.
Of course, there does tend to be alot of homophobia lying hidden underneath so that does weaken their argument a bit.
