Allowing gay marriage would do nothing but further their ambitions. Children should be raised by a male parent and a female parent.

I totally agree with you on that. And its because I'm thinking of the child's welfare, not the rights of the parents. At the risk of sounding prejudiced, I doubt if a gay couple would be able to raise a child as well, or even in the same way as a straight couple would. I mean, the mother of the family teaches the child one bit, the father another. Each has their own distinct way of doing things. Plus, there's always the question of what happens when the boy child sees his fathers kissing, and goes and kisses another boy in school. Not good.

Beyond that, think about how hard it would be, growing up with gay parents. Most people are ashamed of their family already, but think about bringing your friend home from school one day and you two finding your moms or dads kissing on the couch. And then there's all the people who discriminate against gays, the kid might not have any friends because either the other kids would shun and tease him/her, or the parents might not want their child over at their house. It just causes many problems.

And I agree, can we get a mod to get rid of the filter in this room? Bit annoying having your train of thought interupted every time you have to bypass the censor.
