1) If one of my children turned out to be gay, I don't feel my opinion would change at all. I imagine it would be very frustrating as a parent, but I obviously wouldn't stop caring for my child. See: Dick Cheney
2) I enjoy opposition. Going to conservative universities in the south does not provide much, as nearly everyone is a Republican. Thus, I come to places like this.
3) While some of my personal reasons for being against gay marriage are based on emotion/religion, most of what I said was not. To be fair, most of people's reasoning on this board has been something along the lines of "Its not fair, its discimination." While I know you'd like to think this is a legal defense, it is not. It too, is basically an opinionated and emotional statement. There may come a day following a court ruling, where that defense is adequate (although I highly doubt it), but until then it is merely an emotional opinion about what you view to be fair. Marriage has always equated to a man and a woman. The combination of man and female generally has the ability to create offspring. The combination of man and man or woman and woman NEVER has the ability to produce offspring. So, if anything, I think rational and logical thought points to marriage remaining as it is.
