I'm going to chime in here
I don't think the opposition in itself is disrespectful. There are still people who believe that marriage is a completely religious and traditional thing - and they just want it left the way it is....perhaps out of ignorance yes, perhaps out of stubbornness - and some people even out of hatred.....BUT I know like my grandma - she doesn't hate gay people, doesn't disrespect them - but doesn't feel as though they should get "married"
My sister feels the same way, though she supports civil unions....and a marriage as long as it isn't actually labeled "marriage" I don't get it - but it apparently makes sense to her - and she's doesn't hate or dislike gay people - she's always supported me and my friends...
I also know gay people who oppose gay marriage so
