Please note, the original question was:This assumes belief in God, assumes everyone follows Christian laws, assumes bible ONLY answer. This not true. Christianity is to world religion what the USA is to world countries...the egocentric minority who believes themselves most important, only correct, boss of everything.
Please note, the original question was:
"Why are some people against this?"
Some people do believe in God, and do believe the Bible, and do follow what God says in the Bible. That's why some people are against same-sex marriage.
It has nothing to do with believing themselves to be most important bosses of everything. They don't.
In the USA, Christians, like all Americans, have every right to speak up about their beliefs. They have every right to campaign and vote. They have every right to preach from their pulpits. American Christians have the right to call sin, sin. Obviously, they can't stop people from sinning.The truth is, the Christians have no business telling anyone what they can do and what they cannot. The same goes for all of the people of other religions.
People's beliefs do influence which candidates they support and how they vote.You can believe in what you want to, but it shouldn't influence the law.
Dictate? No. Campaign and vote? Yes.When the people take their beliefs to the level where it affects everyone on a daily basis, that's when it becomes a problem. They are the one who believe they have the authority to dictate the society and the law.

As Americans, they don't have the right to break laws without consequence.

They have the right to voice their beliefs, but they do not have the right to violate anyone's human rights.
What are you calling a pig?Call it what you want to, you can dress up a pig, in the end, it's still a pig.
marriage is not part of human rights.

I've got nothing against gay marriage itself and I think all the religious and moral reasons are dumb.
Although, I do think the people who want it don't realize they are in a better position without it. Once you have marriage, you also have divorce and just ask any divorced bread winner, who was married, how they liked it.
Beyond that, the only problem I see with gay marriage is how you regulate it. How do you determine two straight people are not bilking the system for health benefit and tax reduction? It works into a significant amount of money. The answer is, you can't. You just have to go on faith and I don't have much faith in people not screwing the system.
So basically we now have a law that says anyone can be a couple. Fine, I'm all for that as well, but I think the law should read anyone can be a couple. I'd like to have the woman I'm friends with on my health insurance and I'd like to get money back from taxes too. Single people like myself are footing the bill for this country. I don't get to claim a step 10 on my taxes.
I say we make a law that you don't have to be married to get those benefits. This will solve the problem of divorce; people will be a lot happier and we won't be having these discussions about who sleeps with who.
they are free to love whoever.

Why are some people against this? For example, lets say 2 gay people youve never met and most likely never will meet, decide to get married. What business is it of yours? Why would you even care?
