In ab-so-lutly no way whatsoever, the only possible way it could affect my life is if I were invited to the wedding.
It means I would be able to get married. It would be nice to have the option ten years down the road or something.
it wouldnt impact anything....for anyone....at all....
seriously if you are that bigoted to deny lawful rights to another person while giving those same rights to others that makes you as bad as any other oppressive group inflicting their "ideals" on a minority

I would no longer be able to call my gov't highly conservative bigots.
They would become moderately conservative bigots. (AKA a LOT of good jokes'd be lost)
On the other hand, my gay friends and relatives would be able to marry.
Those jokes would be missed, but sacrifices must be made.

It wouldn't effect my life; in any way
now lets put those bigot catholics in their place 6 feet under for stomping on human rights and claiming it's in the name oftheir imaginary friend God
(Encase you're wondering; I live in Northern California where Prop 8 was passed, and I had a family member have to leave the state in order to get married; those bigots cost me the last of my family; and I WILL MAKE THEM PAY!))

That's another common baseless argument tactic I've heard sometimes in the states. Some groups even push that if they are allowed to married they shouldn't be allowed to adopt. Funny thing, a 18 year study has been preformed here in the US about gays and lesbians parents raising children. They found nothing wrong with those said children other than one oddity: children around nine began exhibiting heightened homophobia related to bullying/stigmatization from their peers, but that those feelings typically went away around twelve. Study argued that while on paper they look to be better parents than straight people, it finished it with how it's because there less chance of accidental children. Since most of them have children when they're ready, they make better parents than the average but only up to the degree that any prepared straight couple would be.De Ronneman said:

I feel the need to point out that it's not necessarily left vs. right in this situation, as there are many people from many viewpoints supporting and speaking against gay marriage.
If gay people want to get married, let them. It won't impact my life in any significant way. Give gays the same rights straights have; no more, no less.

Personally, it wouldn't affect me at all. Globally, it would make gay couples acceptable in the eyes of the church. Though as that church is run by a man to whom I will one day soon write a drunken letter to along the lines of;
Dear Pope Palpatine
I no longer wish to be a part of your cult, as it has been proven to me beyond all reasonable doubt that my great great greatX1097 grandparents were in fact monkeys, not two fully formed, parentless humans conjured by an immortal space wizard. I will leave you now, as I am sure your empire, and your choirboys, need attending you. Yours unfaithfully, ...
So yeah, it really makes no difference to me.

Irregardless when you have been together as long as we have you learn to make concessions to the small things. She hates gays, Democrats, and soft k's (as in knife). But you know what she doesn't hate? Me =)Pirate Kitty said:
I will say there is some truth in what you speak.
I'm not sure, but you may have taking my (satirical) statement the wrong way. I meant it is a "rhetorical question" in that the answer should be immediately obvious: It won't have a negative impact and will have a positive impact. I'm all for it!Orekoya said:
Not at all, unless you mean if I married another man, in which case I would probably be uncomfortable at first but I would probably withhold sex, which is the only downside in my mind.
