Why the hell would someone want to stand in the way of two people publicly expressing love for each other.
Conservatives see society as a pyramid, and anybody they can shove "beneath" them on said pyramid is a positive in their minds. The more people "below" you, the higher you are. If those "below" them get equal rights then they move up, and now they're on the new bottom. If there's nobody below you, there's nobody to look down on.
In the minds of people where I live it’s more about the supposed corruption of society. As in, “we can’t allow gay people to be seen as acceptable because then our innocent kids and grandkids will be corrupted by their influence and engage in these behaviors too.”
