[QUOTE=Gmod_Fan77;18248625]Your opinion is they're morons, their opinions are that they're right.
Who's to say which is ultimately right? It isn't right to call people bigoted morons just because they spoke their opinions.[/QUOTE]
Well then you can't call anyone a bigoted moron ever, since it's this sort of thing that lets people decide.
Example:
"I dislike black people. I don't think black and white people should get married, as that would result in black genes polluting the populace."
Someone who says this is a bigoted moron, but in their opinion they're right. Who's to say if they're wrong or right? Common sense.

Common sense would say a theory of "black genes polluting the populace" is absurd, but being against gay marriage isn't.

Well it is.
The idea of black genes polluting the populace isn't absurb if black people are inferior to other people. Of course they're not - this idea is absurd - but to the people who hold these beliefs, being against mixed race marriage is common sense.
Similarly, these people hold absurd ideas about gay marriages devaluing traditional marriage and corrupting the children. If those beliefs were true, then this wouldn't be absurd, but they are so it is.

How would gay marriage corrupt children? All you'd have to explain to your kids is that sometimes two men or two women love each other very much and get married, like mummy and daddy did. It's really not a big deal.

Labelling people as bigots whilst we're trying to engage them in discourse isn't terribly helpful.
it's basically just parents not wanting to have to spend extra time teaching their kids about this shit because they're lazy as is and they also don't like the idea.
like how some people don't like learning about medicine because they're squeamish about blood.

Yeah, but to be fair, "the universe exploded out of nothing" is quite hard to wrap your head around. Unless you've got some super amazing physics degree followed by an age doing research, you're not likely to be able to even vaguely comprehend it and so "A wizard did it" is a viable alternative for many people. Plus it stops you worrying about the finality of death!

I don't understand a lot of things in this world, but I trust the people that claim to, ie., scientists. I would rather place my faith in someone who went to school for years and spends their time discovering and studying these things than someone who follows a book written by primitive desert-dwelling peasants.

Gay marriage is morally wrong, so it corrupts society morally. Due to peoples' rights, sadly it is legal, but it's a degrading, immoral practice that shouldn't be allowed if the majority doesn't want it.

I don't agree with most aspects of Christianity, but it does try to morally improve society, so saying it's corrupting is absurd.
Gay marriage does nothing good, and adversely affects the moral of a society. Ask most people, even non-religious, and they'll probably tell you it's wrong.

Okay, so.
It moves societal values in a different direction. Okay, first, it sounds like you're saying change is bad. If going by the second definition, then it's just contrary to what you want, and you're kinda a bigot if you don't want gays getting married for just because they are gay. It could also mean that it affects society in a harmful way. Now what is harmful about it? Please do enlighten me.
Also, I don't understand why everyone was quoting the bible. To use the bible you have to believe that a god exists. The bible can only be used as evidence once you can prove that there is a supernatural power in existence, before that, the bible is completely invalid proof of anything, because the entire bible is based upon it being the word of god, so to even begin to accept it to be the word of god, you have to have evidence for the existence of a god.
