You would be wrong if you think that. Most people my age and younger don't have an issue with gay marriage. This comes from both sides of the aisle as well, and not just the more liberal youth. The biggest block that has an issue with it is the baby boomers on up. And the reality is they are getting older and will start passing away soon. The attitude you have will simply be the slim minority in 10-20 years.
A lot of millennials I know are against it. So don't try to speak for all young people.
See? I express an OPINION, and get called a bigot again, LOL!
Anyone can have an opinion. You are indeed entitled to your opinion. But is your opinion reasonable, rational, well-researched and well-informed, and promotive of a more open and accepting society? If not, be prepared to face some ridicule. Just because you have your opinion doesn't make it right.

That's OK.
I know teenagers and young adults that are not pro-gay (and I'll leave it at that) They are a lot younger than I am, so...
People won't express the underlying attitude quite so blatantly as they did in the past, but it's still going to be there for many more years.

So it's wrong because you don't agree with it. Got it.
It's just nature. Nature designed male and female parts to complement each other. You don't need Biblical and religious admonitions to see this very simple fact.
I know gay and lesbian couples who complement each other every day!!!
"Good morning, dear. My, don't you look terrific today! What a great outfit! Coffee or tea this morning?"
"Sweetheart, you were the life of the party yesterday! Everyone loved your jokes!"
" I read your post in City-Data.com and you demolished that stupid homophobe who made the anti-gay remark. You are such an articulate person!"

It shouldn't bother anybody.
I said most, not all. There are always going to be people who don't agree with it. Even 100 years down the road a portion of people will take issue with it. However, the majority of people that age, don't have a problem with it. And even some that do just might be echoing the opinions of their parents. So lets see what those same people say when they are out of their parents houses.
What made you think that opinions couldn't be bigoted?
Sure, attitudes do come out. But that doesn't mean I want to cause harm to a gay person--or anybody else.
Just because I'm not in favor of gay marriage doesn't mean I'm going to barge in and disrupt the festivities.

How you regard people matters because it generally affects how you treat them even if you claim it does not
