I get that general idea, but you seem to imply that most religions agree, which I don't think is quite the case, unless you're "enlightened", or perhaps only worried about the majority (I think a lot of the Constitution is there to protect the/a minority, sorta, neh?).
So in my book it's got to be grounded in common sense, first and foremost. If it fits within your religious morals as well, good on you. Gay marriage was just discussed, wasn't it? What are the common sense arguments for "against" there, for instance? Basically, yes, there can be something "wrong with that" idea of yours. *Can* be. Not *must*. =] -- What it lies in our power to do, it lies in our power not to do.
