You seem to have this rosy idealistic view of the "institution of marriage" when the reality is far from that. Go to Las Vegas and get married in 15 minutes, for example, or marry and then divorce within 5 years as many people seem to do.

Heterosexuals have been doing a pretty good job of deconstructing the instutution of marriage all by ourselves, without any help from gays.

You confuse divorce law with the institution of marriage.

Marry in haste divorce at leasure.

There is a standard, even a disfuntional family is still measure against the standard.

The knee jerk reaction to condeming marriage ignores the outside influences which have also worked against marriage. (feminst martha burks, paternity fraud, no fault, etc)
