Actually..
If currently the law supports Marriage between a man and a woman,
Then Gays are imposing their will if laws are changed to allow marriage
between
two men or two women.
If it wasn't in imposition, or an exertion of influence, then the laws would
not
be changed or rewritten. They would continue as they were.
This is not a case where no law existed previously.
So in that sense, it is an imposition and an exertion of influence by one
community on those that would prefer the laws to stay as they are, for
whatever
multitude of reasons.

At the moment, gay marriage is legal in Mass. Each state is currently
allowed to
enact their own laws in re: gay marriage. The "Defense of Marriage Act", a
federal law, allows states to refuse to accept marriages from other states
with
different standards.
It is probably unconstitutional to forbid gay marriage in most states and
federally, so we sill see more and more states and federal jurisdictions
accepting the (as I see it) inevitable.
Outlawing it would be passing a law or laws to make it illegal.
And I don't see that allowing 2 people over their to marry affects your
rights
at all. Unless you are afraid you will be forced into a gay marriage. That
(and
only that) would affect you.
