This is an excellent point:
Marriage has, in the past, been about one man/one woman, just as [Maggie] Gallagher says; it’s been an assertion that gender and gender roles are as important as, or even more important than, what you feel in your heart. Gay marriage is a final, absolute refutation of that logic. If two men can get married, or two women, then marriage must really be not about power, but about love. Gay marriage, then, is radical in the best sense, in that it offers equality and hope not just to gay people, but to children, women, and men of every orientation—even to Gallagher, resist it as she will. Gay marriage is not just about straight people accepting gays into our institutions. It’s about gay people teaching us what those institutions mean. The gay community has given straight people a lot over the years, but surely gay marriage is one of the greatest gift it has offered us.

I agree. Traditional gender roles have been on the decline for a while now, which is not a bad thing. The more we accept people as they are the stronger we all become.
Indeed. If you really want to support “family values” you should let people have them!
Marriage equality for same-sex couples is a natural extension of the Loving v. Virginia decision. My family gained legal recognition by this decision, and I can’t see how why other families should be denied this basic legal right. Equal. Protection. Under the Law.
I agree! you sell yourself short when you say its a natural extension of a SCOTUS decision, its a natural extension of the constitution! As you say, equal protection under the law! I don’t see why people find this so complex.
Loving v. Virginia happened in my lifetime, and is dear to my heart. You’re right though–it’s constitutional, and shouldn’t be hard to wrap one’s head around.
