How is it contradictory? i am saying it's a Human right not a "Straight/Gay" right. as Humans we deserve equal rights, if marriage is between two consenting adults than what does it matter if it's Same Sex or not?

Its a Human right to be treated like everyone else.
How is this a bad thing? Instead of spouting "normal / not normal" or "natural / unnatural" I think people should be honest with themselves.

My argument is for people all to be treated equally

So no extra help for blind people then. And close the paralympics because all athletes should compete in the same games because "all [are] to be treated equally".
Life is exclusive. Some people get left out of some things because they simply are not suited to them. The absurd assertion that all should be included, equally, is based on an ideological fantasy that ignores reality.

In a move that could give gay marriage its first foothold in the South, Virginia's attorney general said Thursday he concluded the state's ban on same-sex unions is unconstitutional and he will join the fight against it.
Newly-elected Democratic Attorney General Mark R. Herring said he would support gay couples who have filed lawsuits challenging the state's ban.
"After thorough legal review, I have now concluded that Virginia's ban on marriage between same sex couples violates the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution on two grounds: marriage is a fundamental right being denied to some Virginians, and the ban unlawfully discriminates on the basis of both sexual orientation and gender," Herring said.

The people who drafted those rights considered marriage to be two consenting persons of opposite sex. To draw upon those rights whilst opposing the definition of marriage they would have held to is contradictory.
Heterosexuals and Homosexuals both have the same right to marry someone of the opposite sex, which is what marriage has always been. Oh yes there have been one or two rare fantastists who have performed a ceremony for a donkey, a chair or someone of the same sex, but then there have always been people who lived a fantasy.
Way to project with that last remark.
