What I think alot of people want is, they dont want to limit homosexuals, they just do not want them to be married in their church, because its against the bible yadda yadda yadda, but see, lol, you dont have to get married in a church, all that gay couples want is a certificate from a judge. I do not think that is going to hurt marriage that much

Yes, but as I understood Prop 2, it is about recognizing what a married couple is. Sure, a gay couple can get married by a judge, but the state of Texas does not have to recognize that marriage certificate eventhough the ceremony was performed by a judge.
Gay marriages may not hurt heterosexual marriages that much, but I think it boils down to what will society accept. With a 73% vote for Prop 2 in Texas, it would seem Texans are not ready to accept married gay couples in Texas society.
