I still have not seen anyone present a credible argument to suggest that their specific interests or rights would be in any way infringed upon if gay people were to marry. If it's not going to hurt anyone, where's the issue?

I don't think it would hurt anyone if the majority consented to it (though I'm not 100% sure, and really would prefer a trial period of 10 or 20 years of civil unions). However, I think it will hurt a good many people if they feel it has been imposed upon them by judicial fiat, without their consent. Changes to a major building block of society such as marriage should be debated, not just imposed.

Judicially extending marriage to gays on equal rights grounds would surely open the door to polygamy, which I believe would be very harmful to women, and culturally shocking to Americans.
