How does it lessen the value of a marriage?

If two guys get married in San Diego, the value of your marriage is lessened? How? Gay people in other countries can marry. Are you saying that heterosexual marriages in those countries are less valid or meaningful? Makes no sense, unless I am missing some huge point.
Yes, you are missing a huge point. The argument could be: Many people believe homosexuality is evil. Recognizing such behavior by allowing it to participate in the institution of marriage is going to cheapen the value of said institution. Furthermore, many people believe marriage was instituted by God, and they want to protect it from an homosexuality.

I'm not saying I agree 100% with the above, but the argument should be obvious to any Church member.
