I can appreciate your comments and your assertion of, where will this all end? Point is, I do not know? Just like slavery was abolished, women gaining more rights and interracial marriage is now legally acceptable, times change. I can however assure you that although some of us believe our pets are family members, we will NEVER try to marry them.

I must however, point out that the "sanctity" of marriage argument has been used to death, but where is the sanctity? People get married and divorced with weeks, and even days! The demise of the concept and the sanctity of marriage.

For me, I believe that this issue needs to be separated. The concept of marriage should occur in a church, or some other religion institution, while a civil union, which allows all the legal rights, should be filed though the state.

As far as adoption, where did these kids come from in the first place? Heterosexuals!

Gay parents do not make gay children, just like straight parents do not make only straight children, hence gays. People are who they are, NO ONE can make them straight or gay. I will tell you that gay people fostering a child or adopting a child is not a decision that they take very lightly. Would a child really be better as a ward of the state than with a loving person or couple?

Why are we being ridiculed for try to take responsibly for all other unwanted child and be part of the solution and not the problem?
