I agree with you entirely. Although most people oppose it based on blind religious reasons (which are moronic to begin with) and boredom, one semi-logical fear is the effect a gay couple will have on raising their kids. In other words, it seems natural for kids to have a male and female as parental figures, and we don't know what effect two males or two females will have on male or female children. But the main problem with this is that there are 300 other unnatural things that effect kids on a daily basis (violence on TV, swearing, sexuality, bullying in schools, parents that work all the time, abusive parents, poor parents) that we accept because they are considered to be "normal growing pains". It's the same hypocrasy as the war... it's stating that we are trying to make the world a better place by following a righteous belief, but it is not consistent because there are far worse and far more detrimental things going on in the world that we are turning a blind eye to. Why? The answer is ulterior motives. You are doing it for one reason, but because that reason is wrong/immoral/illogical, you attach yourself to a logical/moral/right reason, even if there are far more pressing logical/moral/right things to do. So the question remains, why did you choose to attach yourself to this particular thing to fix? And the answer is simple. Whenever there is a lack of pure mathematical logic, it is bias. And when it is bias, your intentions are not pure. So although these righteous idiots that oppose gay marriage state that it is to protect the children, if that was their true concern, they'd first try to prevent kids from being malnourished and uneducated in poverty stricken areas... because gay parents or not, if you can't eat, you're going to suffer more. Another thing that baffles me is why is it okay for single parents to raise kids, but illegal for gay parents to? Are these righteous assholes stating that it is WORSE to have two loving parents than one, simply because they are of the same sex?
