1. I believe that homosexuals (and any non-heterosexuals for that matter) have the right to whatever private relationships that they choose.

2. But these relationships should be excluded from all of our public institutions, because any public recognition of gay marriage (or 'civil unions') necessarily involves the issue of children and families.

3. The gay relationship violates nature's order. Having a child placed into the care of a homosexual couple causes psychological harm to that child. We should not allow our children to be harmed by a fundamentally disordered environment.
