If one accepts the general principle that marriage exists to give children a a stable structure within which to be born and reared to healthy adulthood, then gay marriage is clearly seen as a destructive repudiation and mockery of that principle.

It's my experience that much of the support for gay marriage at FR comes from socially immature single young men and women who don't buy into this general principle. I suspect it's because they view sex solely as recreation, an erotic all-senses-involved Play Station 2 game.

Childless male-female couples do not disprove the general principle either. At least there is a underlying biological coherence in their coupling that is not present and will never be present in gay marriage.

I disagree, this is not what marriage is in the present day. Feminism, sexist divorse court rulings, and anti-male child support laws have corrupted marriage into a mockery of what it once was and as such, I don't support marriage.

Correct.

"It's my experience that much of the support for gay marriage at FR comes from socially immature single young men and women who don't buy into this general principle. I suspect it's because they view sex solely as recreation, an erotic all-senses-involved Play Station 2 game."

Possible. Another aspect to it is inculcation of Politically Correct viewpoints in schools etc. Nobody wants to be 'intolerant' where that means telling someone that what they want to do is something that shouldnt be validated. ie 'anything goes' becomes a virtue and any attempt to stand in the way a vice.
