Kimmie1913 and LadyGreek y'all have said everything that I was thinking, and probably far more eloquently than I could have.
AXE, aggieAXO has a point. What about the straight people who are horrible parents? Gay unions are illegal now in most states, yet there is still crime, deviance, and immorality, right?
Again your example of one child being sad because his/her parents were gay is simply insignificant. A singular experience cannot be used to prove any sort of trend.
Kimmie1913 basically summed up my entire opinion here:
I think that as long as marriage remains a legal, civil matter, same sex individuals should be recognized. Part of the freedoms in this country IMO are that just because something is permitted, you do not have to support it or do it. If your religious beliefs or personal morals say that it is wrong, you are free to speak out against it, to not support it, and advise others against it. Your church can choose not to perform these ceremonies. At the same time, others may. This is my opinion on the legality of gay marriage (and a few other controversial topics.) I think we have the right to campaign for our beliefs but not to demand that others live by them.
