It is God who has defined marriage. That is why some Christians have brought their fight into the public arena....
In this regard, it is positive that her proponents do so in God's name, rather than in their own "preference." This highlights God's commands in His word, rather than their own personal conservative / liberal preferences, which ultimately directs the hearer to the afterlife and its judgment rather than contemporary social agendas.

A few points:
1) I know a number of good Christians who take Jesus's (and yhe apostles) concern for the poor as a reason to vote for democrats. There are still others who take His hatred of greed to argue against unrestrained capitalism.
Who speaks for God, you or them?
2) Jesus hated fornication. But he didn't petition the Roman government to pass a law criminalizing prostitution. Instead, He invited the prostitutes over for dinner. Christ didn't seem interested all all in politics and Certainly didn't get involved. So how is it okay that we do so 2000 years later and do so in His name?
