Please ignore my last post and read this one.

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 in and of itself.

As for sticking together for your kids, what do you think the level of mongamistic practice is among male homosexuals? What's the average length of their "committed relationships"? As for female homosexuals, you know that old joke about lesbians renting a U-Haul on the second date? Do you think that got started because they do that once and stay together for fifty years, or because it happens over and over again? Sound like a stick-too-itive, stable environment for kids?

Of course, this is largely academic. There will be a wave of gay marriages, and then things will go back to where they are now, except that we will be more accepting of an activity that is destructive to our culture, and there sure won't be a bunch more kids living in two-parent homes.

Again, I don't see the connection between gays marrying and the relative benefit of kids. First off, gays can have their own kids (without adoption) via various means, which is a separate issue. Even so, this type of situation is in the minority.

The vast majority of kids are born to heterosexual parents. The issue is whether or not those parents stick together to raise their kids. If there were some evidence that heterosexual parents were abandoning their kids to go off and enter a gay marriage ... then I might see a connection.

Whether or not gay marriage is bad in and of itself is immaterial to the lives of children born to heterosexuals who don't stay together. Homosexual marriage is a separate issue, and one that I don't see a direct correlation to the failure of heteosexuals in our society to stick together for the benefit of thei offspring. It appears to me like heterosexuals scapegoating homosexuals for their own failures in childrearing, which let's face it, pre-date this homosexual marriage thing by decades.
