But sticking together for your kids whether married or not is the the crux of the issue, not the piece of paper from the State saying the parents are married.

Gay marriage amounts to State endorsement of homosexual practice. That's bad.

That may be true, but it's an entirely different issue. Whether parents stick together for the benefit of their kids is what is at issue, not whether or not homosexual marriage is "bad" or "good".

I really don't see the connection, especially in light of the fact that we have evidence of a society with low marriage rates, but high two-parent household rates.

In other words, I don't see how conflating these two issues helps kids (and by extension, society). What seems to be important for kids, is whether or not parents stick together and raise their kids.
