My concern with gay marriage is the welfare of the children. Standard liberal thinking is that as long as children have two people that love them then it doesn't matter who raises the children. This is similar to the reasoning that was used with divorce and now we know that children raised by single mothers and stepparents (on average, there are exceptions) do not fare as well as children raised by their biological parents.

Now we're fighting the whole debate over again, and once again children will be the real losers.

That's a concern of mine also, which is why I have a problem with civil unions. They shouldn't be able to adopt children. It's not just bad for the kids they adopt but also think of the mess when a child's two daddies want to come to school functions, etc. Your child will be exposed to it whether you want it or not, which is what they are working on anyway.

Agreed. Pro-homosexual activists in "professional" medical organizations such as the American Academy of Pediatrics (and both the American Psychiatric and American Psychological Associations) are working overtime to normalize "homosexual parenting."

See replies 283 and 284 in Scripter's Homosexual Agenda: Categorical Index of Links (Revision 1.1) thread.
