Hugh Hewitt's article in The Weekly Standard, "Without the Consent of the Governed", does a nice job of summarizing why so many of us are so outraged at the gay marriage advocates: they're ramrodding their desires through the courts instead of doing things democratically.
Two other, similar columns are also worth a read:
"Gay Marriage – An Issue for the People, not the Courts", by Michael B. McClellan
"Strange Bedfellows", by Stanley Kurtz
