I've never been in favour of same sex marriage because I don't think emulating straight people is something to aspire to. Even my straight friends are rejecting aspects of marriage while gay people are getting really gung-ho about them, it's quite weird. Adoption is another matter, I was raised by a single mother and I was really thankful that I didn't have some of the toxic parents that a lot of my friends did. At least with adoption there's a lot of gatekeeping to go through to make sure you're a suitable parent.

And I am entirely opposed to surrogacy, I don't think it's ever fair for a woman to have to carry a child for another person.

Yes exactly that. Same sex marriage just feels like "Sexist heterosexual expectations, now rebranded for homosexuals too." No, actually, I don't want to be in a relationship with a man where I'm (or he is) deemed "the woman" and considered to be an object for him. Nor do I want to spend an absurd amount of money and stress over a symbolic event that doesnt actually prove your love or make your relationship more important.

(Plus I don't really believe that love is common especially among males. You can see this in the gay community and why 99% of places are sex/hookup focused and they generally don't have basic respect for others, let alone a deep sense of love.)
