How fragile is your faith in the notion of marriage that extending its legal, social, and economic rights to LGBT couples would somehow undermine it? Sometimes you need to set aside your irrational fears and support something that seems dangerous because it's fair and right.

I really have never known any parents who wished that their child would grow up to be gay or lesbian. It has something to do with wishing for grandchildren, but much more to do with the idea that our preference for those we love is the traditional sexual union, even though we admit and mourn the fact that like other human relationships they are not always perfect.In fact, hardly ever. But nature itself is the determining factor.

Congratulations, you've just proven that nobody's perfect.

That's why we develop institutions like marriage -- because withoutt hem things would be even worse.

Tinkering with such things at the whim of the political moment, is a very dangerous thing.

Why the hell should we lose rights like pension and health benefits, filing join tax returns when we are picking up the tab because a heterosexual couple had a child they WEREN'T READY FOR.

Have you ever heard of people getting married that don't procreate, why should they get rights then?

Maybe if you allowed us a chance since 50%+ of your straight perfect world screwed things up and if you would let us commit and formalize our relationships, maybe society would then grow to respect us.

It would be very unjust for those of us who do not agree with you to be required to change our traditional understanding of family and marriage merely to conform to such gay requests.

If you want to arue against homosexual marriage you will have to use another argument than one from justice.

Justice requires gays to find another term for their unions, temporary, multiple, or permanent.
