Well, I, at least, understand that you're simply venting by entertaining thoughts of vandalism. The thought of such is theraputic even while the act would be wrong for so many reasons of which you are well aware.
And I'm also totally against the marriage contract entirely and I wish we could have a completely overhaul of the system that eradicated marriages, but allowed for contracts (like business contracts) to merge assets, gain insurance benefits, solidify inheritance rights, etc. But...
1) I know that won't happen and 2) as long as does marriage exist, everyone who fits the criteria for being legal to enter into contracts should be allowed to get married. Period.
The only reason to prevent any class of person from any category of contract is because you think they're not really people, they're sub-human, or otherwise "not worthy".
As zen_shooter says, when you can show me that gay marriage causes cancer, or somehow infringes upon the rights of people, then I'll see a reason to be against it. Until then, big freakin' deal. I don't care if my next door neighbors are married, why should I care if a gay couple is married?
Measure 8 is horrid, and we have Amendment 2 over here, so I'm totally with you on the need to vomit and destroy property sentiments!
