Okay, let’s get this part out of the way first: I think people that want to have a same-sex marriage are stupid. Specifically, I think that their insistence on sticking with religions which, as a matter of policy, condemn them in the afterlife as abominations is stupid. That said, their stupidity pales before the pure idiocy of those religious fanatics which created and now back those policies in the first place.
Seriously, if you think that no one has tampered with the bible to suit their own agenda in over 2000 years, you’re deluded.
In the end, though, what will happen will only surprise the people who fought it, and that’s that same-sex marriage will have the support of nearly everyone. It’s not so different from women’s rights, except that it’s a much smaller group suffering.
That’s exactly what it is: people suffering. And just as with any other form of persecution, I’ll be glad when the rest of the world wises up and ceases to condone it.

One word: heteronormativity. It’s confusing, and crazy, and you don’t really ever want to haul it out in front of a gay, bisexual, or transgender friend – or a hetero friend for that matter, although they tend to get less upset – who is expounding on the importance of gay marriage, but it does explain a lot.
What it basically means is that our world is full of stoopid.

Your word has many syllables, I vote that it should be counted as two words: heterono and rmativity. Perhaps by splitting the word, we can split the support.
At the very least it will better reflect the stupid nature of that which it describes.
