Statement of bias: I am an (regretfully, almost completely straight) man married to a woman (if you want to know her orientation, ask her :>), and we got married in CT.
Speaking as a random member of the "married people" set, I wasn't in the least offended by your post. Why should I be? It's not about me, or my wife, or my marriage. I pretty much agree with you: it is a great injustice that same-sex couples can't marry. In point of fact, I think the entire idea of "marriage"--which is a religious thing, primarily--being recognized by the government is ridiculous and a bad idea. (As to why *I* did it...that's an entirely different story for an entirely different time.)
So, don't worry about offending anyone with this belief--if they get bent, it's their damage, not yours.
All that said, I hope your sister is accepting. Problems within families are no fun.
