I've tried my best to stay quiet-ish about the whole same-sex marriage debate for a while. I can see both sides of it, but it still makes the logical part of my brain angry.
I totally understand why there are those who say that same-sex marriage will destroy the institution of marriage itself. Marriage was created by the bible, by religion, and it's not really the government's place to say that homosexual relationships be recognized by religions. I don't agree with the people who say that same-sex marriages are bad. I don't think they're any worse or better than heterosexual marriages. I also don't believe the people that say a homosexual couple's child will be raised 'without a mother/father figure'. I've known people to come from single parent homes and turn out just fine. I've know people to come from your typical mother/father home and have some rough patches.
It's not so much the gender of the parents, or the sexual preference of the parents, as it is the values that they teach their children.
