Here in the United States of America, the people have grown to love what liberty stands for. As basic rights, we believe that freedom of establishment and practice of religion, speech, press, assembly and petition are necessary. We believe that the pursuit of happiness is up to each individual in any way they choose.
But we're not always the smartest beings through our choices.
Freedom, Happiness; The drive for all human beings in every nation, culture, race, religion, family. As mortals, we inevitably make mistakes. We have to. We really don't have a choice, for a few reasons. Imperfect understanding, imperfect bodies, imperfect surroundings.
When it comes to a freedom and happiness, people seem to have the perspective that whatever they want in a moment is what is best for them. Freedom to eat what you want. Freedom to buy what you want. Freedom to drink. Freedom to drugs. Freedom to sexual relations. Result: More difficulty in physical activity. Need to buy more, more to clean, more to fix. Addiction to alcohol and abuse to people around you. Addiction to drugs and neglect of people around you. Resentment, pain, disloyalty, mistrust.
Why get married? You are free to live and do as you choose with your career, social life, money. Why must it be someone of the opposite gender? Same sex marriage is easier, besides, you love them. What's the problem? It doesn't hurt anyone else.
Marriage is difficult. But partnership but it's a chance to grow, to love someone more than yourself. Without it, you are not free to progress to your fullest potential. Logically, if you are with a same gender partner, biologically you operate similarly. Less opportunity to learn and grow from differences between males and females.
The purpose of life is to progress as much as possible. Why do anything that would limit your fullest progression? Lasting freedom and happiness means understanding limitations and respecting your potential. Know who you can be, and make the greatest out of who you are.

I'm not sure what you mean by "same sex marriage is easier". Could you clarify that? You're not talking about everyone, right?
I see what you are saying about freedom. I think the key is that we are free to make choices, but we cannot escape consequences of those choices. What people would really like to do sometimes is to be able to make the choice and avoid the consequence: "Have your cake and eat it too." I think if we keep consequences in mind our choices become a lot easier. Of course, it's not always possible to know the consequences beforehand, in which case Divine guidance for our choices is crucial.
