Granted, I don't expect you to really see this through conservative eyes, since homosexuality probably doesn't bother you. However, it does bother a lot of people, and they simply don't want their relationship with their spouse to have the same title as a relationship many believe to be wrong/sinful/whatever.

...eh... Historically marriage hasn't been between a man and a woman - historically you'd get marriages between a man and "gods/goddess", man and state, man and animal, man and man, even man and the dead... yes historically a Conventional Marriage has been between a male and female (not always "man" and "woman"), and thanks to the monotheistic faiths Monogamous Marriage and Conventional Marriage have become synonymous; however that isn’t the historic reality…
As for same-sex marriage, as long as it’s monogamous I don’t have a problem with – what I do have a problem with is the many decrying same-sex marriage as “un-biblical” or a “sinful” all while turning a blind eye to their acceptance of divorce… or more esoterically: intolerance, hate, and war – all of which are as great or greater sins according to the Bible… but hey that just me
