The position of Christian conservatives is not:"I don't care if all the kids get raised by crack whores, as long as there ain't any gay marriage!" The position is, "Children should be nurtured by a family that is some variation of a man and a woman married for life."
Given that position, an article about how bad single parenting is doesn't argue against me any more than an article about cheese curds.

Yes, we agree. However, the article you posted is misleading by ommitting what the original author, Mr. Kurtz, said about Scandinavia and how it stacks up for children ... vs. the USA. Gay marriage or not, kids seem to be better of there than here ... so he's not making his case very well that gay marriage is bad for society/bad for kids. Just becuase fewer parents are getting married in Scandinavia, it doesn't follow that they are also precipitating more "single-parent" households. The facts don't bear that out, which he conveniently ommits mentioning.
