However all the homosexual parents I've known have been *much* better than the single parents I've known.

How many of each have you known?

What is your criteria based on?

I don't disagree that homosexuals are very adept at portraying themselves a certain way in public, this has nothing to do with what goes on in private.

Finally, what does this have to do with marriage? Nobody is suggesting that homosexuals aren't free to have children, in fact nobody is saying that they can't get married, what we are talking about is that homosexuals shouldn't get some special provisions that the rest of us don't have.

I've known three stable, gay (male) families raising children(adopted from the inner city, which made for interesting confusion when the two daddies were out with their kids).

Single parents? More than I want to think of.

The issue is not marriage. The issue is making the issue about marriage. The problem is not marriage, it's marriage's abject failure as an institution.
