Recently, California's supreme court overturned California's ban on gay marriage. This was a serious error made by the court, and one which will have many negative repercussions in the future.
What makes gay marriage wrong is the fact that it directly defies the morals and values upon which the ritual of marriage was originally created. Gay marriage defies the sanctity of marriage as a religious act because the bible clearly and strictly forbids homosexuality. It's like a polar bear living in the equator, or an ice cube in the refrigerator. It doesn't make sense, and is extremely ironic. It's literally contrary to what marriage was intended to be.
Another aspect which makes gay marriage questionable is its propensity to deteriorate the moral fabric of our society. If a man is by law allowed to marry another man, or a woman is by law allowed to marry another woman, then where do we draw the line? What's to stop our government from allowing a man or a woman to marry a horse, or a corpse, or a video game console? Homosexuality is a sexual deviation and abnormality, and should not be socially acceptable.
I believe every person has the right to do whatever they want to do as long as its free of malicious intent and doesn't harm themselves or anyone else. So if a consenting man wants to have sex with another consenting man, or a consenting woman wants to have sex with another consenting woman, that's their business, and they have every right to do so. However, I also believe that it shouldn't be made legal or politically acceptable because homosexuality is a moral and religious abomination.
Though marriage has evolved into being more of a legal institution than a religious one, this is one case where church and state should not be separated. Marriage continues to remain a religious practice which abides by religious laws, and the state should not contradict those laws.

Great pun in your title.
While it's fine to have strong opinions, you need to be careful to be precise in differentiating your opinion from statements that are not your opinion, for example, in what way did the court "make an error?" Courts make judgements. You disagree with this one, which is fine -- but that doesn't make it an error.
