Marriage doesn't equal children. It's simply just a contract, an agreement that was used to bond families and even countries together. Time warped its true meaning, religions adopted the practice then made it a tradition for many to promote purity and controlled reproduction among men and women. If homophobia wasn't so prevalent in religious communities, there wouldn't be any problems with gays getting married. Basically, what I'm saying is marriage doesn't have to mean children. Children in marriage is an enforced religious norm that oddly enough many seem to accept; but it's perfectly normal to get married and not have any children.
Now on to the main discussion. I get what you're saying about gays and children, because in the wild it would be biologically impossible for two males/females to reproduce on their own, which makes it seem as though gay relationships are unnatural. However, humans are extremely ambiguous, there's simply no right or wrong answer to the many things we do; it just needs to feel right to us individually and this includes our choices in mates. Also, though men and women are two halves to one whole, on a global scale we refuse to actually take the time to understand each other and value one another. To many men, women are weak thus only useful for child baring and servitude. To many women, men are aggressive and controlling thus lacking empathy. Though we're divided on race, religion, sports and whatnot, it has nothing on the timeless classic of men and women treating each other like shit in various cultures, and we don't need love to make a baby, which is why there are so many who needs loving homes. I understand that men can provide a male perspective and woman can provide the other, making the child knowledgeable of both sides, but they can easily learn from their sister/brother, Aunt/Uncle, Grandma/grandpa, if not from their gay parents. What child raising boils down to is having a stable, safe environment and proper mental/emotional nourishment.
Basically, I disagree. If two men or women want to raise a child, as long as they're financially and emotionally stable enough to create a healthy environment filled with love and support, then I don't see why they aren't fit to be good parents.
Gay but against gay marriage? Iin?
