Do people of other religions detract from your religion?
Do people working in other jobs detract from you working in your own job?
Do people raising their children differently than you detract from how
you raise your own children?
I'm guessing the answers are "no". And in no way should you feel
threatened by other people wanting to get married.
The funny thing is nobody is trying to change YOUR marriage. Your
marriage is obviously sacred to you, and it's apparently of religious
significance to your beliefs. That's cool. But just as your religion
is different from others', but their religions don't detract from the
importance of your religion, so people getting married doesn't detract
in any way from your own marriage.
Gays aren't saying you can't get married. THAT would be changing your
institution of marriage.
My guess is that you don't personally have any close gay friends. If
you did, you would know that they love their partners just as strongly
as you may love yours. Marriage is, to many, about making the ultimate
commitment of expressing that love. To say that gays can't marry is to
say that they can't love. And I have to take offense at anyone who
would deny another person to express their love.
