Do you support the marriage between any two individuals? So a brother could marry their sister? Or a mother could marry their daughter?
Do you support marriage involving polygamous relationships? Can three or four people can be married?
So you want to dismiss the ideas above because they belong to a minority and are not supported by the majority? Wow, you sound like a bigot.
Remember just a few years ago there were no major organizations or groups of people advocating for... same-sex marriage.
As it stands, the campaign for "marriage equality" is deceptive and has only been concerned with marriage between homosexuals - other minority groups be damned!
No, its not. Marriage where one or both partners are homosexuals is legally permitted (and has often occurred) without marriage equality.

How do we know that? When did the word equality mean only heterosexual or homosexual couples?
It's a marketing myth that "gay marriage" is the same thing as "marriage equality". They are not the same, they are two very different things.
Because marriage equality is a well-established term with a clear unambiguous usage in political discussions. Sort of like "pro-life" and "pro-choice", which could (divorced from context) each have a wide variety of possible meanings, but which, in the actual context of modern American political debate, have very specific meanings in terms of particular opposing positions regarding abortion policy.

It would be more accurate to say that "marriage equality" is a brand that has been established by advocates of legal marriage without distinction based on the sex of the partners.

Is 1991 a "few years ago"? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-sex_marriage_in_Hawaii
Equal marriage is when the government doesn't discriminate by sex in who people are permitted to marry.
