I have never been against it per se, but I thought it a bit silly at first, since we already had civil unions with full equality (well, not adoption rights, but that was how I viewed it back then). Didn't really understand the importance of appropriating the term marriage itself and saw it as an unnecessary provocation to cultural conservatives and traditional Christians. I would have supported it in a referendum based on "if its important to the gay community let them have it", but still considered the whole thing an unnecessary distraction from far more important equality issues for years. Was - and still is - against forcing the church to accept it by law, but that has more to do with a general opposition to the whole established church thing (which I think drags the church down and force it to spend its resources on the wrong things).
