Previous posters said it best, in twenty years we will look back on this thread and be embarrassed about how people used to think about sexuality.

I never said straight people are better than gays.
Why do I care?
Because the nuclear family is probably the most important institution in society.
With easy divorce, over-sexed media, hardcore feminism, current economic conditions and now gay marriage, it seems like the family unit is being radically transformed, and not taken all that seriously nowadays. If we didn't have immigration here, our population would actually drop because our fertility rate is below replacement rate, which is 2.1. In Canada it was 1.6 in 2008, and has been around 1.5 in the early 2000's. This drop in fertility rate is because a significant portion of the nuclear families in North America are very dysfunctional, and I believe most of the things I listed above have played a huge part.
I just think they should have made a separate law for gay couples like a civil union.
