If Christians are really serious about protecting the sanctity of marriage shouldn't they be more focused on getting divorces rates down rather than stopping another group from getting marriage?

Of course it's ludicrous, but they don't care. Gay people (like evolution, feminism, and ecumenicism) are used as a ruse to rally the troops and keep them scared. Scared = focused and putting $$$ into the collection plate.
Making money is first. Making sense is much farther down the list.

Both are a perversion of the sacred ordinance of marriage. Therefore, Christians should display an equal amount of concern for both issues.
I love gays as my brothers and sisters in flesh and spirit. I realize the grief they are going through as individuals, and my heart goes out to them. However, this does not alter my position that homosexual marriage is against the will of God.
Nevertheless, mankind will do what they will, whether it be good or evil. God has granted His creation the freedom of choice, which all mankind will face the consequences of.
Perhaps society should create a process by which gays are able to obtain all of the rights which married couples possess without actually getting married.

Because the lie that marriage can be between two people of the same sex is in the news and in the political landscape. Christians don't like the idea of their children going to school and being taught from textbooks about how some child has "two dads".
It's too bad that Christians spend so much effort in reacting to things like this instead of being more concerned about divorce, but I would guess that they figure that people already know that God hates divorce and that there are only limited grounds for it in the Bible.

...and while we're at it,if marriage is a contract between a man,a woman and their god,do they imagine only Christian marriage is valid?,and if so why aren't they campaigning for every marriage other than Christian marriage to be banned?
