Why Do Conservatives Fear Gay Marriage?

But there are conservative arguments for same-sex marriage (which, curiously, sound very liberal – maybe due to the special nature of the American brand of conservatism):

“As people who promote personal responsibility, family values, commitment and stability, and emphasize freedom and limited government we have to recognize that freedom means freedom for everyone. This includes the freedom to decide how you live and to enter into relationships of your choosing, the freedom to live without excessive interference of the regulatory force of government.

So obviously the vector of the “eternal idea” of conservatism isn’t enough to explain the current aversion.
