Raising children is a red herring -- gay couples are shown to raise children just as effectively as straight couples.
However, the people wanting to protect "marriage" as between a man and a woman do have one small point -- since they invented the term, they should be allowed to define it.
On a big picture scale, though, look at the bright side. By and large, even those opposing gay "marriage," i.e. President Bush and Company, generally want to protect the rights of gays, they simply don't want their unions to be called "marriage." While this is at base a to-may-to, to-mah-to issue, let us give everyone their due as far as social progress goes ------- very few are saying gay couples are not valid, and the majority want to preserve their rights. "Crimes against nature" supporters, however vocal, are few and far between.
We've come a long way, baby.
