The above ^ is from Prop 8 in California. It is quite evident that christians are the majority of the people voting against gay marriage there.
And why should they not be allowed to? Because equality should NEVER be up for vote. It is scary to think that if the majority wants a minority to have fewer rights they are allowed to do that. Gay marriage doesn't hurt anyone, so the government really has no basis for prohibiting it.

Gay couples already have equal LEGAL rights under domestic partnership and civil union. That is what law should and can do. Civil Unions allow gays to receive the same health benefits and tax breaks married people get.
Everyone is born right-handed. Only the greatest overcome it.
