The question shinerbock, is do you believe homosexuality is a choice or is innate?
I go with the innate for many reasons, but mostly that I myself never chose to be attracted to anyone, just found myself attracted to my boyfriend.
If innate, you may disagree with it, but how can it be wrong (outside of a religious belief). Gay rights has often been compared to civil rights, and while I disagree that such a broad comparison is accurate, the gay marriage/interracial marriage comparison seems right to me.
No one complains about a straight couple holding hands while walking down the street, but if it's a gay couple, all of a sudden they're "forcing their views on me" and "making my children think it's ok"
Your children are going to witness many things that are "wrong" in life. You will have to teach them whether things are wrong or right. That's a parent's job. Trying to put them in a bubble from the "wrongs" isn't going to work, and will probably make them rebel. Be prepared to have a talk with your children about WHY you disapprove of gay marriage when they see two men together. I still won't agree with you, but you'll be doing everything right.
