First, IIRC in most states I think that there is NO law preventing gay
marriage. It's just something that has traditionally been that nobody
would perform the ceremony. So by having a judge rule that it's not
illegal is not changing the law, it's clarifying that there isn't a
law in the first place. Many states are now scrambling to get laws on
the books to prevent such a ruling. So it's actually the
anti-gay-marriage people who are making the fuss.
Second, even if a law IS passed to allow gay marriage, I'm honestly
baffled to see how that affects YOU. It doesn't deny you the right to
believe that it's wrong. However, passing a law to prevent it IS
denying someone a right.

See now, we already talked about the separation of church and state issue.
