Yikes, all I was doing was showing how you can be against gay marriage and not be a hateful person who beats their wife...the fact that nobody challenges that is worrying to me.

I don't recall
anyone saying that everyone who's against same sex marriage is a
"hateful person who beats their wife". The point about abuse was simply raised as something that's
actually a threat to marriage yet relatively ignored by those who pretend to be protecting the institution's sanctity, unlike same-sex marriage which has been vanquished through such nobel legislation as the "Defense of Marriage Act".
I think the predominant feelings on the part of people 'round these parts is that a
significant percentage* of those who oppose same sex marriage do so out of some level of homophobia and/or flat out bigotry - and frankly, as this thread has shown, I think it's difficult to prove otherwise.
* note - that's
"significant percentage", not
"all". Just seemed like it might be necessary to reiterate that detail.
