Interesting points on 'the sanctity of marriage crowd' and gay marriage
Groups of people who have been allowed to marry during the past 500 years or so and in some place are still allowed to marry.

People who are barely sexually mature could marry
Convicts
Condemned felons can be married minutes before their execution

Some humorous thoughts on arguements against allowing gay marriage:

Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

You can even print off a pdf and post it all over the place.

(BTW, the "12reasons" site they refer you to doesn't work anymore.)
